854.0. "DEC OFFICES IN KENYA?" by HPSRAD::MOTT (Peter Mott, DTN 297-4919, MR01-2/H62) Mon Jul 10 1989 16:56

Does Digital have offices in Kenya? How does one go about getting sent to
such an office? 

Is this the best or correct notes conference for such a question? Is there a
better one? 

(Note submitted to ANYWAY::ASKENET and HUMAN::DIGITAL)

854.1According to the latest DEC phone book ...YUPPIE::COLEI'm Midtown-bound on the SED Express!Mon Jul 10 1989 17:422
	... no. Nigeria and Zimbabwe the only ones I see outside of North
Africa's Arab states.

    Within the last year a listing in a DEC phone book appeared once
    for a distribution office in Nairobi.  I never saw it since.
    
854.3Try France ?BISTRO::BREICHNERThu Jul 27 1989 11:1410
    Usually Field Service, sorry CUSTOMER SERVICES, know where there
    are any traces of DIGITAL, be it offices or distributors....
    To the best of my knowledge France is responsible for Africa
    (the group is called CDC) and the Customer Services manager,
    unless I missed recent changes is Jean_Pierre Robichon in
    EVRY (DTN 858-5698). You might wish to check out if there is
    any DEC, provided KENIA belongs to the "CDC kingdom". I am
    not sure how far south CDC actually streches. If it ain't
    France, it must be GIA.

re .3:

The groups name is CDG (used to be SEENA - South East Europe & North 
Africa, don't know what CDG stands for!).

    re .4
    
    CDG = Country Development Group (I think).

    He's right - Africa went to the group in France when we
    transferred it out of GIA.  To my knowledge, the market
    is too small to support its own distributor: whatever sales
    opportunity exists is probably handled by the Zimbabwean
    distributor.
