Thanks for stopping by BetterECM. I would be glad to chat. I have emailed you directly to set something up.
Howdy Russ,
Great site/blog. I think I just found another Daily Read!
We met briefly before at last year’s Microsoft PAC in Las Vegas. I was the Meridio guy that had to be somewhat circumspect. I apologize for that and I know I came across pretty badly.
If you’d ever like to chat on things, give me a shout.
Many thanks,
Don

Hi Russ
I am new to your blog and even to ECM. I hope I am welcome!
Russ, I am a Documentation Expert in Sales team (was a Copy Editor too!) of a good IT firm. I was just wondering that where ECM can fit in my picture of things or in my company, even. I would be glad if you reply. I also feel it is the question of which many people are looking an answer for.

Hello Russ,
I have a client that has an immediate need for two CRM’s. It is a 6 month project that can be worked remotely and does involve quite a bit of travel. This is the first time that I’ve had to search for this skill set and I’m looking into all possible avenues, I was wondering if you have any suggestions as to a good place to notify the CRM community about these openings.
Any guidance that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Russ – Sorry for the delay in addressing your comment on the Word Team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/microsoft_office_word/archive/2006/12/20/holiday-wishes.aspx#1338454).

Hi Russ,
good work !
Thanks for stopping by BetterECM. I am glad you find BetterECM useful.
Hi Russ, great blog. I have been retained by a company OPIN Systems,to help develop some potential OEM/VAR partners for their Reveal, Document Management and Records Management product line. From my early looks at the product it does seem to have some unique properties as it relates to managing what I would call “documents of record” and production documentation (large documents of 100,000 pages plus). They are currently in the Financial Services and Healthcare Sectors with one or two government clients. Any chance for a quick call to pick your brain on this one.
Cheers
