The waiting is finally over. The RFP that I've been waiting for for a number of weeks finally arrived late last night. It was only page 49 that sent me to sleep last night in the hotel. The excitment of it all ensured that I was up again at 5.30 to finish off the document appendices. In honesty it's an interesting request that is going to try and take a tactical solution and make it strategic. I won't bore you with the details but the good news is that it is very similar to parts of three other responses I have done in the last 4 months. Control C and Control V are my new best friends.
I now find myself in Paris at the end of the day. I'm here to speak to two clients tomorrow; one about MDM in utilities, and the other a tactical reporting solution in the music industry. I've got quite a bit of variety in my work life at the minute - it makes me think I should have ventured out of financial services years ago!
The other good thing about being in Paris is that after having spent 4 years in the Paris office, I have a number of good friends here. Tonight I will stay with my old china Thierry Grima who is a manager in the AIMS group in France. I didn't think I'd have time to do a posting tonight, but I managed to find a few minutes because he is sitting here next to me preparing a presentation on configuration management for his client for tomorrow morning. I don't think he'll be finished for a while yet! Accenture seems the same the world over - even his wife sounded like mine at times....."Thierry, answer me when I talk to you please.....what sort of company is this that you work for" and other such remarks (although my wife rarely calls me Thierry).
