    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

    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, 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

    Congrats on the new position. I’m wondering whether I can ask off the record who the new psoition is with. I have recently been working closely with a major oil and gas company, and personally was hoping it was them who snagged you. I am available via the email address..

    Hey, Russ. Welcome to Houston. I hope you and your family fared well through the storm. I browsed over here from the AIIM site.

    I work for an independent engineering firm (3rd party testing and verification, subsea design, etc) here in town, and I am very interested in all things KM and BPM related. I came from the IT field doing mostly MS related development/architecture, including Sharepoint. Fun stuff!

    I would be interested in hearing more about your adventures at BP. My exposure to the upstream O&G/engineering (at my company, and many of our clients, BP included) has left me with a strong sense that there is much to be done in this part of the industry! It would be great to share ideas.

    -Brice

    Russ,

    I stumbled across your profile on InformationZen today and ended up here. I have been in the ECM industry since 2007, and have been looking for individuals who are successful in this area of IT, as mentors to help guide me in my career decisions. Would you be interested in grabbing a coffee and chatting sometime soon?

    I just saw in LTN where you will be speaking at LegalTech NY on “Don’t Build Your eDiscovery Program on a Digital Landfill”.
