To: kriz@wave.esm.vt.edu From: "James Blom"Subject: DONATION OF SITE LIC. Cc: jeffm@sense8.com Subject: FW: Virginia Tech SITE LIC.,DONATION, MARKETING, TRAINING, Dear Ron, Thanks again for your voice mails the other day, and your help in distributing information on our company. Let's definitely plan on a meeting for September 23 at around 11:00 am or 3:00 pm. Enclosed you will find first our proposal for a site license and for the relationship we hope to build with Virginia Tech over the coming months. Second, you will find an email detailing our internet straegy. Please feel free to distribute this information. Also, please call or email me back with your suggestions, and/or recommendations. You can reach me at 301-571-2450- or my home office number of 202-333-3942. Sincerely, James F. Blom East Coast Territory Mgr. A VIRGINIA TECH SITE LIC. DONATION In short, Sense8 would really like to partner with VT. By partnering, I mean Sense8 would like VT to become (1)a Beta-Site for our firm, (2) a Sense8 Authorized Developer, and (3) an authorized Training Center. The most visible way we can show our commitment to helping VT in achieving these goals is to give the school a donation. My goal is to give VT a donation in the form of a Site License and all of the benefits and resources which come with this program. At the center of this would be your Lab. We have just begun offering this to other Universities on the East Coast, and we are very excited about hopefully being able to extend this opportunity VT. The value to VT is about $300,000 in software. The cost to VT in supporting a site license is $35,000 for the intitial set up , and $15,000 every year thereafter. Because of the time and resources Sense8 will dedicate towards VT to implement this program, and because of the details necessary to execute this effectively-I need your help. If you feel any of the other departments or students could benefit from having either WorldUp or WorldToolkit running on their pcs,nt machines, or unix platforms-please consider helping me approach the other departments or perhaps even your own department. One benefit we can definately cite to the school is that anyone graduating with proficiency in either WorldToolkit or WorldUp would be hired immediately for a very good salary by our commercial customers(Now over 500 companies) and/or Sense8 itself. This is just one of the benefits we can cite. If this at all interests you, would you please call me at your convenience. I can be reached at 301-571-2450. I really look forward to your input, and I believe once you read my entire email you will see the depth of commitment Sense8 is ready to grant VT. Some QUESTIONS I definately need your help on: What other departments at VT would be strong candidates for donating some funds towards support make this site donation possible? Who are some other key faculty who are intellectually keen on VR, Simulation,Visualization, and Animation? Who is the Director of Purchasing for the school? Does VT have any sponsoring relationships with outside institutions or companies? If there is anyone else at VT who you think would benfit from reading this email, could you please let me know ? Thanks again for your time and consideration. Sincerely, James F. Blom East Coast Territory Mgr. _____________________________________________________ SITE LICENSE Site License for all of Sense8 Commercial products on all supported platforms on an unlimted number of workstations and pcs.
