Believe it when I tell you that the automation vendors take the results of our annual Readers' Choice balloting pretty seriously. More than a few product managers and marketeers alike get a bit nervous about how the voting might go. It's a great opportunity for you to collectively let suppliers know, in some cases by voting for somebody else, how you think they're doing.
If you specify, purchase or otherwise influence the automation system components that end up on your machines, then you'll soon be receiving a link to the 2012 Readers' Choice Awards Ballot. Your job: to tell us what suppliers give you the best technology value and service and support in about 50 product categories. Ballot is pretty simple. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.
One or more of you will win a new iPad for participating.
If you don't get an invite, and you think you should have, let me know at jfeeley@putman.net
