I think I've skipped a travel disaster or two in my scant blogging efforts, but our recent trip down to Atlantic City for IMDG Vendor day requires a quick sentence or two. First off, this is an event that is held once every 3 years or so, a special time when vendors can come address an industry group which generally excludes vendors. So we felt pretty special being able to go. And because it is in Atlantic City, we figured it would be best to... drive? (Don't ask) So driving actually turns out well because we have a GIANT RFP to work on and Laura bravely volunteered to read and type while I ramble and drive. Making great time and we stop at McDonalds in Greenwich CT, I'm looking for my wallet.. in my pocket, surely its there, my pocket simply cannot be that big... uh oh...

Which was good because then I had the rest of the trip to contemplate whether or not I had been pickpocketed, or if I was really dumb enough to leave on an 8 hour journey to a *casino* with no wallet. And finally how the heck I'm getting a room in this day and age. Long story short, Laura sold some jewelry* on the street corner and gave me $500 which I still have not paid back. What the heck! We had fun and talked quite a bit with a few prospects that the conference, anyway. Won big at craps the first night, and, as you can imagine, lost it all back the second.

ANYWAY,

With all that fun behind us we barely finished the Biggest RFP Known To Man in the Shortest Possible Time Frame, but by working during all waking hours, we pulled it off. Boy I sure hope we win this one :)

In the meantime, we have just completed tcVisualize actuals integration with ICON! We are showing the results to a major pharma customer of ours in the morning, and I have to say it looks fantastic! Thanks to our friends at ICON for their hard work on their part of the extract, and to Nick and Jeremy for pulling it all together on our end. I didn't mention before, but we also completed Clinphone actuals integration this year - we now have Clinphone, ICON, Perceptive, and an IVRS that we built for a major pharma (99%) complete! Things are going well.

Many demos and client visits continue on the horizon including 2 important Trident demos the first week in September. Anyone who is in CT can check in on Robin and Panlong and see the incredible things they are doing with the Trident Admin and EUS systems, really cool stuff and in my opinion this will be the next generation software for a loooong time to come.

Take care everybody,

Ed
