Scott Chiavetta Made My Day

One of the founding members of our Infrastructure & Operations (I&O) community is Scott Chiavetta, CIO of Alliance Laundry Systems.

I was talking with Scott last week and asked him if we could quote him in a press release announcing this newest Wisegate community. What he said made my (and the whole Wisegate team’s) day. Here it is:

“I strongly believe in the value of Wisegate – the high level of member participation and proactive, entrepreneurial nature of the Wisegate staff set it apart from the alternatives I have seen. I have heard many sales pitches over the years for IT collaboration communities, but Wisegate is the only one I have accepted.”

Then he told a peer or ten about Wisegate, explaining it like this:

“The site allows for collaboration via product reviews, polls, discussion questions, etc. You can host a conference call to get peer views on any IT subject (we are diving into cloud-based CRM; I hosted a call on that and got some useful feedback). The grunt work of setting up events is done by the Wisegate staff, so it is fairly pain-free.”

Wow. That can keep me going for days. Next time I talk to Scott I am going to find out more about how what we are doing that helps him. I really want to know.

In the meantime, Scott Chiavetta made my day.
