<br>
Thanks for your email and to clarify and provide further indication, the underlying objective is to find out what software / companies you and others as industry members are using, so that I can use this as a guide as my business undertakes a review and planning
in line with continuous improvement objectives to our internal business systems.<br>
<br>
My offer for the vouchers is to thank respondents for time in providing their response, so far only a single valid response has been received. I'd also note there wasn't any suggestion of SPAM to someone (I believe I I recall Bevan but I may be wrong?) offering
free tickets to the Grand Prix in exchange for some help not all that long ago! In respect to your other comments, I needed to provide a conditional offer, based upon setting an expectation that respondants would take the matter seriously and provide valid
responses, I can't be providing vouchers if someone doesn't consider the request seriously. Formal address, this is quite allowed under the AUSNOG mailing list charter, I don't use any private email address, I'm sorry to say.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your and more industry responses, so that I can bring some more Christmas cheer to you and your family this year - if everyone could please response with a PM it'd really be appreciated, and it really would help me out. Looking forward to
your and others responses!<br>
<br>

Chris - if you made the conditional offering non conditional ie: all respondees get x then your offer would appear more credible.</span>

<br>
Hope you're well and enjoying your evening! <br>
<br>
I'm currently performing a review and planning improvements to our business systems, and would like to approach you as the industry to ask what systems your business uses in day to day function so that I can consider this in our own review and planning process?
<br>
<br>
As industry members, we do value your input and would ask that you respond to what your business uses for software provision for the following areas;
</font><span></span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span></span><font face="Arial">H<span>R Applicant Profiling / Benchmarking / Reporting - what software / company?
</span></font></li><li><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">W<span>IKI / Knowledgebase - what software?
</span></font></li><li><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">H<span>elpdesk - what software? </span>
</font></li><li><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">C</font><span><font face="Arial">RM / CMDB - what software?
</font></span></li><li><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">B<span>andwidth monitoring - Netflow / SNMP - what software?
</span></font></li><li><span></span><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">S<span>IP termination - what companies / providers?
</span></font></li><li><span></span><span></span><font face="Arial">A<span>ccounting - what software?
</span></font></li></ul>
<p><font face="Arial"></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial"><span>If you'd be comfortable in sharing any experiences you have in your past in any above areas (including past employment or business enterprise)<span>, including any </span>positive/negative<span> feedback</span>, it would be appreciated
and greatly assist <span>me </span>in our review.<br>
<br>
</span><span>As a thank you, if we do make any alterations to our business systems and select a software product you have responded with in replacing our existing system platform, I'll send out up to the first 20 such responses a $100 gift voucher for either
Myer or David Jones, in time for Christmas.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your feedback and response.<br>
