Product Spotlight:SQLXPress

SQLXPress Can Help You Manage Your HP NonStop SQL Databases

And the Winner is….

The winner of XYPRO’s Events survey drawing is:

Michael Crispyn, Vice President
Group Manager, Tandem Online Systems
Fifth Third Processing Solutions, LLC

Scott won the $100 Gift Card drawing for filling out our recent survey.

As promised, here are the results of XYPRO's Survey about which upcoming shows our customers/prospects will be attending.
75% of those who responded are going to the NonStop Summit in San Jose
25% of those who responded are going to HP Tech Forum - Las Vegas

Anastasia Valentine asked:    Lisa-how many in total responded?

Lisa Responded: 
48 people replied, about which show they or people from their company would be attending, speaking on behalf of about 60 individual attendees.

6 additional responders didn't say which show because they weren't sure yet.
3 said they no plans to attend either show.

We had several international "Yes" answers - which is also encouraging.

A couple of interesting comments in the "free form" field - 3 people said they weren't aware that the NonStop event in September was happening due to the lack of marketing,
but they were all aware that HPTF was happening.

So those percentages match up with Ernie Guerrera's poll of his customer base, if I recall correctly.

So if roughly 70-75% of those going to a show are coming to San Jose, we just have to make sure enough people know about the NonStop event to consider it. So please pass the word around!
