We were so impressed by the response to our recent customer Haiku contest (held in honor of Customer Appreciation Month) that I felt compelled to publish an additional blog post featuring some of our other favorite Haikus, whose authors have been awarded honorable mentions. 

If you don’t see your Haiku here, it’s not because we didn’t love it!  It’s possible that it didn’t adhere to the strict definition of Haiku (3 lines comprised of 5-7-5  syllables), or we simply ran out of ideas for awards. Keep practicing, and next year you could be our big winner!

The start of October marks the end of Customer Appreciation Month here at Express Metrix.  We dedicate every September to letting our customers know that we’re grateful for the opportunity to support them day after day and year after year with their IT asset management initiatives.  Between the customer referrals, great product feedback, ESID machine scans, and occasional comic relief we receive from our end-users, we want you all to know how much we appreciate your continued business and loyalty. 

In our last newsletter, we announced we’d have three challenges, the nature of which would be explained in three emails that would arrive over the course of three subsequent weeks.  Each winner would receive a Kindle 3G Wi-Fi.

Join us next Tuesday, May 31, at 11am (Pacific)/2pm (Eastern) for a special webinar called “How to Effectively Evaluate SAM Products.”

With so many SAM tools crowding the marketplace, many asset managers find it a daunting task to find the right technology for their organizations. Presented by Jeff Kelsey, Express Metrix’s Co-Founder and VP of Products & Services, this webinar is intended to provide a blueprint for finding the best fit for your company, from narrowing down the options to a manageable list of candidates to putting SAM tools through their paces during your evaluation process.

Topics include: overview of tools and functionality available in the marketplace; developing a requirements list; evaluating key functionality including application identification, network inventory tracking, software license management, usage metering, and more.
