"Why did you choose June 6th as your announcement day?" "Because without D-Day, there would be no ArcDrive."
I mean it.
D-Day turned the tide. From that day till the end of the war, the Nazi's were in retreat, receding across Europe, all the way back to the heart of Germany.
Easy Company, Eagle's Nest.
If Hitler had defeated US and allied forces, the world would have gone off the rails into a completely different direction - we wouldn't be who we are today.
To some, 75 years seems so far away. Times change, technology marches, but people never really change - good and bad.
Remember configuring the first #copier, late at night for a morning delivery? Staying up past midnight, attaching the finisher, paper drawers, ADF, and large capacity paper tray?
Remember the first time you forgot to order a stair climber or tile protection? How about the time you used the forklift to deliver an Oce up to the second floor?
Did your heart sink when that toner spilled out on the floor during your demo?
You fell in love with it, all of it. You fell in love with watching your employees and customers evolve. Memories of the small office Christmas parties, new babies, and hiring your nephew, still warms your heart.
Your vision, your idea, your business. Partnering with hardware vendors who worked with and valued your relationship.
It's easy to say those days are long gone - one time partners are wily competitors, rivals have turned into arch enemies and the elusive client doesn't fall for stunts, techniques or bloated copier deals.
It's tough.
"The first rule of flying? Love. Love keeps her in the air when she outta fall down..."
Love what you do, again. Love bringing your customers something new, shiny, again.
It's called #ArcDrive and it's new, fun, easy, familiar, sophisticated and for you.
