Tom,

I just listened to your podcast interview with Ann Rockley. Thank you for making this available. My proposal writing team is taking initial steps into CMS, so I shared some of Ann’s comments on factors leading to implementation failure.

I’m a member of the Orange County STC (California).

Keep up the great service.

Thanks for the note, Bill. Be sure to listen to the Chris Thompson podcast on searching for a CMS. It also covers relevant topics.

There’s also another Ann Rockley podcast — the focus is mostly on blogs.
