IBM strengthens Informix-Team with Young Professionals

IBM reacts to the heavy demand for Informix Dynamic Server, which was voted the product with the highest customer satisfaction in a recent survey.

I am glad to introduce Jannis Dorlöchter on The Informix-Zone who will start, as of now, as a Technical Enablement Consultant. Jannis is assigned to the IBM Lab in Böblingen, Germany.

Jannis successfully graduated this year September with a German Diploma-Degree (Berufsakademie) in Applied Computer Science.

The lovely Terri Gerber, who has for the last year been leading the Informix Channel Sales team has been promoted to lead a newly formed Informix Worldwide sales team. Barbara Benis will be in charge of Direct Sales within this team and the excellent Gary Proctor will be taking over the Channel Sales.

While I'll be sorry to see Gary crossing over to the Dark Side (sales), at least we'll continue to work in the same team.

Everyone in the Informix team in IBM sees this as a great development and a sign of IBM's ever-growing support for Informix.

I'm delighted to offer my congratulations to them all and to point out that beers are on them next time we meet!
