The Department of the Treasury ROCKS!

12 May 2009

As I said previously I have been calling into the Office of the CIO at the federal government departments. And it's a lot of calls as you try to sell yourself enough that they will take a real look at you. A lot of the conversation is with administrative assistants who, with 1 exception, have been very nice.

But it's also a situation where you eventually email your info to the right person, they will pass it on, and you wait... In many cases you don't even know who the person is that is looking at what you sent. And you have no way to proactively answer any questions they have.

And so...

We got an email from the Department of the Treasury asking us to fly out and present Windward Reports to three members of their staff! The system worked, the OCIO at Treasury did take a real look and they are clearly open to new products that solve problems more effectively.

Michael Duffy (CIO Treasury) - your department rocks. And a giant thank you to the individuals there that reviewed Windward.
