Large computer hardware manufacturer looking for systems engineers and architects, technology management/executives, or systems administrators who are responsible for researching and recommending enterprise-class servers to participate in a research study next week. You really need to be able to discuss technical requirements for large servers to participate in the study.
You must be located in the US or Canada to participate. Current or recent (within the past year) Sun Microsystems employees and contractors are not eligible. You must be employed by or contracted full-time with a medium- to large-sized business to be eligible (no consultants for this study, sorry).
If you are interested, you will be asked to participate in a 1-hour interview using an audio and web conferencing service (you need to have an Internet connection and a separate phone line). Participants will receive $75 (by check) for their feedback.
Wednesday, October 28, and Thursday, October 29.
If you are interested, please write to research@chiliinteractive.com with answers to all of the following:
1. Your current or most recent job: tell us a bit about what you do.
2. Your experience with Sun Microsystems products if any (experience with other vendors is fine if you have no Sun experience). What other server manufacturers are you familiar with?
3. Your experience with the sun.com - how often do you visit (if at all)?
4. Some background about your company - how big is it, how long has it been around, and what industry are you in?
5. Your role in researching, recommending, and purchasing products for your company (focusing on large purchases - like enterprise-class servers).
6. Whether or not your company has a Sun reseller in place.
7. Whether or not your company has a separate group or person
responsible for negotiating contracts and making purchases (again, focusing on large purchases).
8. Times that would work for you on October 28 or 29. Please include your time zone.
9. A phone number where you can be reached for scheduling.
Please be sure we can figure out your name from your email!
Please feel free to forward this message to others who might be interested.
