As this is my first post to this newsgroup, I thought it would best to introduce myself and give some background. Since Feb 2009, I've had the great privilege of leading Embarcadero's worldwide R&D organization with development sites in Scotts Valley, Monterey, Toronto, Romania and Russia. All engineering: Dev, QA, Doc, Integration and supporting personnel report into my organization and we are responsible for building all of Embarcadero___s Application and Database tools. I report to Wayne Williams our
CEO and work closely with Michael Swindell head of Marketing and Product Management, James Pitts our CTO and David Intersimone who you all know.
Since my first day on the job I've communicated to our engineering staff how important you, our customers, are to our long term success. We also realize the livelihood of many of our customers is closely linked to our products and their success. Ultimately, we're all tied together as we move forward in advancing the art of software development and building great tools.
These forums are very close touch-points for us to hear what our customers are saying and we greatly appreciate the time you spend here describing your experiences, asking questions and of course, helping each other. We are strong proponents of social media as a way to tap into the collective wisdom of our customers and you can expect to see us accelerate our participation in these forums and other media in the future. Thanks to all the TeamB folks and other customers who spend countless hours here prov
iding answers and additional insight into our products.
Finally, I'd also like to say that there___s tremendous excitement throughout the R&D organization in the work we do and the products we build. Our people our committed, show great interest in their work and have a deep passion that I hope you can see every time you use an Embarcadero product. Our goals are simple - we want our products to live on every development and database administrator's desktop throughout the world. While this is no easy task, we feel our products provide tremendous value and are
that good. Sure there's much work ahead of us to achieve these goals, but we're "All In" to make this a reality. Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing your comments or answering your questions here in the forum or send me an email if you'd prefer - I'd really like to hear from you.
Best regards,
