GREEN LIGHT FOR VIRTUALISATION
http://www.m-p-w.co.uk/ 2008/ 05/ green-light-for-virtualisation.htmlLast week at my interview with AxiCom, the managing director, Lyle Closs, explained the concept of virtualisation to me. I was a little unsure but I understood that it involved sharing space on servers so that fewer servers are needed. This seems like a great idea and a good way to reduce spending on IT.

http://sarah-heal.com/ blog/ ?p=31Surprise and delight? May 17th, 2008 Recently I’ve been on the wrong end of poor service from a couple of companies.

Please listen to all of the options as they have changed.

We've been pondering something here on the Quicken Loans marketing team: With a 94% client satisfaction rate, how can we encourage people to share the love with others? Well, we know mortgages aren't the most exciting topic in the world, unless you're buying your first home.

A Day in the Life: Many thanks to the Chamber of Commerce
http://yourmarketingmavens.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ a-day-in-the-life-many-thanks-to-t…I went to a seminar yesterday by Gair Maxwell, put on by the Charlottetown Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the Property Guys, called the Branded Networker.

Interesting, More Effective and Creative Use of Coupon Promotion
http://www.tomhcanderson.com/ 2008/ 05/ 16/ interesting-more-effective-and-creat…Coupons are an important part of the marketing mix for many CPG companies.
