Kick-off with Seminars and Meetings

As more and more things are getting in order, I start getting more and more involved into the daily working atmosphere of IBM.

For knowing the company's activity's for the web, I had some meetings with a lot of people. First of all my stage coordinator told me some basic information of the activity's of IBM within the business world. Activity like from storage solution to software, from security issues to consulting. She showed me around in the IBM Forum, a presentation place with all the information of what IBM's goals and solutions are.

For e-commerce on the web I talked to the representative of the web sales, Paul-Henri Cerckel. He gave me information about what the main goal and strategy is of selling solutions and product on the web.

To know what all the players are in the market, I went to my first seminar, the eID Seminar in the Kinepolis in Brussels. This was a seminar with presentation of all important company's who where explaining the opportunity’s, risks and their own solutions to use eID in the workflow of the company or an end-user system.
Surrounded by men's in suits, I got mush information on a short time. IBM had also a stand there with an example of an eID application on the web.

It's been already an interesting week, and I hope that more will come.
