Version 2.0 of the Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) has been available since November 2004. While we believe it has been well received, we need more proof to help make the case for ongoing investments in future versions.
Are you a happy user of BDD? If so, please send an e-mail to bddproof@microsoft.com (I will see all of these, as will other members of the team) with any testimonial information you are willing to provide. Some specific information we'd love to know:
- Your name and e-mail (or any other contact details you'd like to provide)
- Your company's name
- What version of BDD you are using (Standard or Enterprise)
- What components of BDD you are using
- What benefits you have received from BDD (time savings, added functionality, decreased costs, or whatever)
- How many machines you have deployed (so far and expected total) using BDD
- How many machines you have deployed per day
- How you learned about BDD
- Did you receive training on BDD? If so, from who?
We will only use this information for internal purposes unless you tell us otherwise. If you are interested in working with Microsoft to create case studies that can be put on the Microsoft.com web site, certainly let us know about that too. We'd be happy to make you famous :-)
Feel free to include constructive criticism as well. As development of the next version of BDD is underway, now is the time to make your suggestions!
Thanks again!
