17. § “In addition to this being strikingly beautiful, this is a seamless flow of information – better than anything
I’ve experienced as a consumer.”
§ “As a company we’ve needed something like this to educate employees and make The Connected
Enterprise message a priority internally. For me, it’s provided much-needed clarity to what we are trying
to accomplish through The Connected Enterprise. So far, I’ve been really impressed with the content,
the communication plan – and I especially love the colleague referral feature. I think the campaign will
prove to be impactful.”
§ “You'll be delighted to know that in two separate meetings today I used the knowledge I gained from
these great materials…the first meeting was with the commercial section of the U.S. Embassy in ho chi
Minh City where I was trying to find out how we can work better with the Vietnamese government and
U.S. Companies in Vietnam; our TCE message played right into a "smart cities" campaign the U.S.
Commercial department is running in the region. So it was great to be able to fluently explain our
offering.”
