Hello Performers,
Our Product Marketing folks are doing their annual general survey,
attached below. (The first send was misaddressed). Don't worry
that these questions are fairly broad - they are intended to give
marketing a view of trends and customer needs from one toolkit to
another.
Please reply directly to jenna++at++sgi.com
Thanks!
Allan
