Leroy,
so if a client wants to see some knowledge base article they must go from
me to my master var to IBM and back again.


I am not even going to suggest this.

Some people like to find out as much as they can by themselves before
bothering anyone.

I had a recent example of a clent IT manager wasting time on the IBM web
site that had to be rescued by our master var.
The client was greatful but not impressed.

It annoys me that i cant get into tech connect.
I dont want to ask a question all i want to see is if there is any useful
info before sending out a distress call

The same with some clients.

I have recommended this mailing list to some clients but not everyone wants to join up to a mailing list

As for technical conferences, yes we would all like to go but then there is reality

Try and see things from the other side of the fence

John,

We are contractually bound to work though our valued business partners. We
do appreciate your loyalty, we really do. However, your contracts are with
your Master VAR. We happily assist our Master VARs and direct partners
with
technical information. They in turn provide that information to you in the
form of technical support and training (if they offer it).

Here in the North America, we have some Master VARs, but generally we work
with partners directly. In other regions, they may sell more through
distributors and/or Master VARs. It has been this way for a very long
time.

Work with your Master VAR and they'll work with us.

Kevin, as far as i know there are only 2 in Australia and we are turned down by IBM not by my our master var

Good product, bad support and embarassing when your clients start
complaining about IBM

jak,
perhaps you need a better master var.

Lester,
one thing I would ask though is
why the Knowledgebase portion of techconnect is protected,
is there some reason that ordinary website users can't look up old info ?

What a joke Leroy

I cant get access to Tech connect as we get our universe licenses through
a
master var This annoys us plus our client sites with inhouse programmers

Its hard to defend IBM when they treat you like this

They are coming. We haven't broken any promises. The quarter is only
half
over.

I would have thought a fair number of you folks would have downloaded
earlier versions by now as they were on the U2TechConnect Website for a
couple of years. We know you all want the latest and greatest features
we
have to experiment with, and you'll have them with just a little
patience.
Because they are free evaluation copies, we are required to package them
a
bit differently, and the U2 group was not the only group involved in the
process. We, too, had to wait.

They are nearly ready to be placed on the Web again, and we do regret
the
time it has taken to get this far. We will be sure to announce their
arrival as soon as they are ready.

Thanks again for waiting.
