1545.0. "Whither Computer Images Group?" by WAYBAK::LEFEBVRE (Blessed are the cheese makers) Tue Jul 30 1991 14:01

    Can someone please point me to a contact in the (former?) Computer
    Images organization that used to be located in Bedford?  Last year
    I contracted them to produce a slide presentation for a technical
    conference and the people with whom I worked with are no longer
    listed on ELF.  Also, their former node (EXIT26::) is no longer
    reachable.
    
    I've heard that this function may have been transferred to an external
    organization, but I cannot reach any of my contacts for verification.
    
    Thanks in advance,
    
    Mark.

    If the Computer Images group is part of Media Communications, then they
    are indeed no longer with DEC.  Some of the Media Communications group
    went to an independent contracting firm, based in Andover, MA.  DEC is
    the primary client of this new firm.
    
    I don't know names or numbers.  Perhaps someone else can fill in the
    blanks.

1545.2Quantic ?CECV03::STOKESTue Jul 30 1991 16:565
    MCG left here to be organized as Impact Communications and
    has since changed their name to Quantic.  I don't know if 
    Computer Images was one of the parts of MCG that moved over.
    
    Quantic is located in Andover, MA - in the old DEC ACT.

    Try your Purchasing Dept.   A memo was distributed to each Purchasing
    group identifying what was left, & who to contact, etc.  Or that's how
    it was supposed to work 8^)

One thing they did was give each person in the old Computer Images group
a complete listing of what happened to each person in the group so if you
want to contact any specific person in the old group, you can contact anyone
from the old group and they can tell you how to reach that person whom you're
looking for.

The only person I knew from that group, Kathryn MacDonald, can be reached at 
her new office at 508-667-2697 in Billerica.

    Thanks for all the pointers.  I've been in touch with Tammy Strogis
    at GEMVAX:: whose organization provides these services.  They are
    located in Maynard.

    You can also call Cathy Serie, in MKO at 264-5448.  She is a liason
    between Quantic and all of us who used to use MCG.
    
    MCG and Computer Images has been sadly missed!!

1545.7Process for purchasing from QuanticDEMON::CRAMERThu Aug 01 1991 21:5831
This is information one of our staff received on how to obtain services 
that we used to get from MCG.

The process is:

1. Complete an Internal Purchase Requistition (IPR).  

   Include the specific services you want performed and an
   estimated cost for each service.

   There is a space on the form to specify a recommended supplier
   (vendor).  The vendor should be on the approved vendor list. 
   (you will have to get this list).

2. Obtain the necessary signatures on the IPR.  At a minimum this
   will probably be a cost center manager and financial analyst. 

3. Send the IPR to Purchasing.  


We were told that you can talk to vendors on the approved
list about potential work, BUT MAKE NO COMMITMENTS.  It seems as
though Purchasing controls all.

The MCG spin-off company is called Quantic Communications. 

If you run into problems using the process, you can contact Norma
Frye.  Her current DTN is 287-3574, but she is moving to MRO
soon.

You DO need to work through Purchasing now, since this is an external 
vendor situation ... but in case this is helpful:

	Quantic Communications, Inc.
	Andover Research Park
	3 Riverside Drive
	Andover, MA  01810-1198

	508-681-1500

They do have all the old Computer Images files, so would be a logical vendor 
choice for updates to an existing presentation.

    Another contact:
    
    Roberta Stratton's husband, Jim Stratton went with MCG.
    
    Roberta still works for DEC and can be found in ELF or the DTN
    book.
