It’s 10:30 pm here in California and I just got done Skype chatting with my new friend Anupam in India, where it is 11:00 am. Anupam is the CEO of Agnisys, one of the winners in our Do More With Less contest that we held back in April. We were putting the finishing touches on his new Xuropa Lab that just went active.
It’s been interesting working with him to get the Agnisys iDesignSpec software installed onto Xuropa and working. First, it was great to see a company so excited to get their tool on our platform. Believe it or not, our customers sometimes have to compete with other priorities. We understand that. However, in this case, Anupam enthusiastically jumped right in and rolled up his sleeves to get things done.
Second, he was able to get things going with very little help from me. Anyone in a startup knows that this a big deal, for customers to be able to jump in and know what to do with little support. I think it’s part credit to Anupam and also part credit to the work we’ve been doing to make the process simple and well documented. Not to say that I didn’t spend a few evenings talking with Anupam in India, but it was mostly the details.
Third, I’m struck again at how global everything is. We have the Agnisys CEO in India using a platform developed by the Xuropa CTO in France, supported by me in California, to run tools on “the cloud”. Next week Anupam will be at DAC in California demoing his tool in his booth and also giving out invitations to try it out on the cloud. Pretty amazing.
I look forward to meeting Anupam in person next week and I encourage all of you to stop by the Agnisys DAC booth and say hello. He’s got some great new products to show you and he might even tell you a little bit about his Xuropa experience.
Which is just getting started!
