AccMan TalkBack: Crisis management – EDS stlye

  • Anil · 4 years ago
    Interesting -- I've seen zero participation in blogosphere conversations (comments, other people's blogs, etc.) from either EDS.

    I've seen no way to contact someone who's an executive at EDS if you don't already have a relationship with them, and I don't see any record of what happened anywhere on EDS's site right now. 

    I think the response to your points would be as follows:We at Six Apart were also upfront about the problem in a matter of fact way.

    A number of very senior persons, who were getting ready for or into the holiday season, all gets into action - you hadn't asked us toWe've made commitments to which we stuckEverything was calm, professional, efficient.We're here participating in the conversation now -- why isn't EDS responding to this post, too?

    Exactly Anil! That's the whole point. There's never a conversation about something that's a non-event. Many of the issues I write about you'll never see on the blogosphere radar either. I don't care because I know I'm reaching my community through other means. It's what having a niche is all about.  

    I won't debate the veracity of 6A responses to its own issues - others have already given that a thorough airing.What I can say to one specific point is that my respondent doesn't run data centres - he's a strategic thinker. He merely offered to take a look anf get back to me - they don't need all hands on deck in a crisis because they sorted out the issues - years ago.

    Maybe you should talk to them and bring Vinnie Marchandani along with you?

    Dennis,At least you looked at the site Dennis. A tragedy would be that the site was down and no one noticed.By the way, you were right I was off work. At least as much as I ever am. ;-)
