69.0. "Reorganization" by HOCUS::OHARA (Bob 352-2968) Mon Feb 20 1989 15:12

    Given the fact that DEC is planning to reorganize, is anyone out
    there aware of how this might affect Insurance Industry
    marketing/sales?  Will there be a merging of the currently autonomous
    groups into one cohesive organization?  Will the sales force be
    more responsible to the Industry Marketing folks?  Will we still
    be the poor cousins to the banking/investment organizations??
    
    Any suggestions from the readership, while we still have the potential
    to (hopefully) influence the reorg?

    It has been rumored for some time, and recently comfirmed by a biggie
    from Maynard (name escapes me now, I'll check tomorrow when I get
    to the office), that the company is going to reorganize.   Details
    are still TBD, but it's PROBABLY going to be along industry lines.
    
    That's all I know for now.  Anyone else hear what's in the wind??

Subject: IMAGE SYSTEMS GROUP - NEWSLETTER

		IMAGE SYSTEMS GROUP - NEWSLETTER

	
This newsletter is designed to keep field personnel 
informed of the latest and most important information 
concerning the Image Systems Group. 


REORGANIZATION

The Image Systems Group (ISG) has recently undergone a 
reorganization.  The importance of this for the field is 
the new Technical Support and Solutions Integration Group 
(TSSI), under Ron Higgins.

TSSI has four subgroups:

1. The Technical Resource Center is a demo room where 
all of the latest demos and accompanying hardware will 
be available.  This area is responsible for showing and 
distributing all image-related demos and maintaining 
the hardware and software for trade shows.  The Technical 
Resource Center is also responsible for demo and application 
development.

Contact Dave Brunell, BJ6000::DAVE, 264-4719, for more 
information on the Technical Resource Center.


2. The Technical Support Group provides image-only 
technical support for the various groups throughout the 
corporation who also support imaging.  For example, this 
group may provide image-only technical support for a 
marketing group that wants to establish strategic CMP, 
ISV or third-party relationships.

Contact Bob Milling, NOBOZO::MILLING, 264,2068, for more 
information on the Technical Support Group.


3. The Solutions Integration Group works directly with 
third-parties and OEM's to develop, for example, a driver 
for a scanner that will meet a strategic need in an image 
solution. 

Contact Ron Higgins, VISUAL::HIGGINS, 264-0868, for more 
information on the Solutions Integration group.


4. The Internship Program is designed to assist field 
personnel in responding to an image-related RFP.  The 
program provides the equipment and technical support 
to develop an image application or demo.

Six VAXstation 3100 systems are expected to arrive in 
Merrimack in September for use in the Internship program.  

Contact Maurita Plouff, NSSG::PLOUFF, 226-5915, to enroll 
in the Internship program.

An organization chart, showing the new structure of ISG, 
will be available soon.


BASE PRODUCT MARKETING

Bruce MacDonald is the new Base Product Marketing manager 
for ISG.  Bruce's responsibilities include establishing 
CMP, ISV, and third-party relationships.  Bruce is also 
responsible for MARCOM activities, such as releases to Sales 
Update and Small Buffer.  Currently, Bruce is involved with 
the announcement for Version 2.0.

Contact Bruce at VISUAL::MACDONALD.


NOTES FILE

In addition to the VISUAL::IMAGING and 
EDWIN::IMAGE_SERVICES notes files currently 
supported by ISG, the VISUAL::IMAGING_FIELD notes 
file is available for PID presenters and field 
personnel.  This restricted conference is designed to 
share image-related information, sometimes sensitive 
customer information, among the field.  

Contact Olive Corriveau, VISUAL::CORRIVEAU, 264-5235, to 
register for this notes file.


PID PRESENTATION VIDEO TAPES

The mid-August PID training held in Littleton is available 
on video tape.  ISG will have two copies, one showing the 
entire training, the other showing a shortened version of 
the most important topics.


WHITE PAPER

Joel Arker, ISG's Product Marketing manager, has written 
a paper outlining Digital's image program and technical 
strategy.  The paper also describes basic imaging concepts, 
such as tonal aspects and raster images versus vector 
images, component products, system technologies, output 
and storage devices, and more.

The paper is located in note number 525 in the IMAGING notes 
file.

If you are interested in joining AIIM, contact Barry Washington, 
VISUAL::WASHINGTON.  Next month, in the IMAGING notes file, Barry 
will provide a list of the various AIIM chapters throughout the
