Hi Dear All,
For nearly one year now, I am a casual passive reader of this notes
conference. I have remotely ( I live in Belgium ) seen the depression
hitting this company, mostly in the USA apparently. And it seems to go
on.
Strangely enough, I feel the need to say that Digital seems to be OK in
my own country and I wonder if this is the case elsewhere.
I am not a financial person, but I know that we made an "outstanding"
result last year. We have received a bonus this month ( 1272$ up to
2541$ depending on your level ).
On a technical point of view, I am still proud to work for Digital : we
are one of the few companies able to provide solutions to nearly any
kind of project.
The quality of our competitors is also not as good as perceived : one
of our local network guru knows HP quite good and says that they are at
least 2 years behind in the network area ( they do not even have a
Notes conference network in place : can you imagine ? ).
So, are there other countries where the sun is shining today or is
Belgium the last island ?
Regards.
Philippe

Hi,
I'm in Indonesia, a country in South East Asia. I also see the sun is
shinning and we are still the second biggest computer vendor in term
of business and I think also in technical expertise. As you can expect
the number one is our big brother.
Our CAGR, I believe, is more than 20%. We achieved our number last FY
but I have no information for this FY. This FY we change from
distributor to be a joint-venture company (50:50).

Hi,
My country is also doing well. Last FY we managed to keep the revenue
flat (about dfl. 930M = ~ $ 500M), but operational profit increased from
dfl. 77M to dfl. 124M. From the profit we took dfl. 57M, dfl 55M for
restructuring respectively.
