I love getting emails like this from our customers. This one came in this morning.
"We’re currently setting up our PingFederate environment, things are going well. Since we announced the introduction of federation services, my phone won’t stop ringing ;-)
...As we said last time you were here, we’re interested in a more strategic, long-term alignment with you, not just a customer and vendor relationship."
Suffice it to say, Ping engineers are now swarming in and out of Ping, many times virtually. They sync, then work, then sync, then work. It's really cool to watch, and it's a new world within Engineering here at Ping. The new program goes quite nicely with our MacBook Pro handouts this past year, the only problem being, I now have a bunch of unused 30" Cinema displays here at the office most days, and I likely need to buy additional 30" displays for people to take home. All of this comes in a nick of time with gas exceeding $4/gallon.
There's not doubt that removing geography from the work-force equation holds incredible potential for gains in efficiency and productivity. Not only can you now hire the best (no matter where they live), but you can also remove the time and expense associated with costly travel, improving quality of life and reducing stress while allowing your people to achieve greater balance between family and work.
We recently had one of our engineers move to Estonia, to realize a dream of European travel and adventure while working for Ping. Matt Peterson arrived in Estonia a week or so ago. He's not on sabbatical, he's swarming. Here are a few pictures from his first week.
