This weekend was champagne time at Adaptiva. We’re not averse to a few drops of local booze any time, but guzzling gallic bubblies on a perfect midsummer weekend in Seattle, and blogging about it?
The occasion demanded it.
It’s finally official. Adaptiva One Site has won a hard fought battle against 1E’s Nomad product at a major bank. It is not only one of the largest deals we have ever done, in dollar terms, it is also one of the most closely contested battles we have have ever won against our traditional rivals.
At stake was the opportunity to help consolidate the SCCM infrastructure across thousands of bank branches, and eliminate thousands of server roles – DPs, Secondary sites, and Child primary sites. Specially since the bank was migrating away from a combination of Altiris and Bigfix.
I’d like to thank, in no particular order:
- People at the bank, (which shall remain unnamed for now), for looking past all the sales and marketing presentations, getting down to the business of software design, architecture, measuring actual performance, and selecting the better solution.
- The Microsoft people who were involved, for their support, encouragement, and endorsement
- My team mates at Adaptiva, for creating truly magical software that is a delight to demonstrate
- Our competitors, for a battle well fought. See you again soon
