So a buddy of mine runs a conusulting firm that does corporate strategy and
assurance type work - one of his case studies is "Panemic Preparedness" his
clients include Goldman, Pfizer, Merck - Fortune 100 types.

Attached is his case study and link to his site.

As you know software companies need integrator partnerships to grow,
especially when selling into the large enterprise.  And it's better to
start with someone small to learn before you do a deal with E&Y or someone
like that.

This could help with business requirements and target use case that MB is
trying to figure right now.  I am thinking of connecting Nathan with these
guys, what do you think?
