Greetings!

cactusGame on in Phoenix!

Everything is happening in Phoenix! The days were nice, the nights were cool but the subject was hot. There's that football game coming up, but the real excitement was at NTCA and OPASTCO. That's where the the real game is happening. The stakes are high. We're trying to win the future of an industry, not just the Lombardi trophy.

Who's the other team? You know who they are. They've broken through the telecom industry's defensive line. They run fast, they hit hard and as the internet solidifies its place in the modern business world, they are beginning to take away the home field advantage.

Now your the underdog. The Jets did it in '69. The Pats in '02. What's your game plan? What adjustments do you need to make? Keep faith in your team. Your team has taken you this far. Your team knows the legacy network, and you know your customers. Your can learn the new technologies, and Watershed can help you do it. We know the old game, the telephone networks that brought these times about, and we know the new game, the IP networks that are the future.
We're here to tell you that your team can win this one. In building a team you focus on the basics; blocking and tackling or circuit switched and packet switched. One concept at a time, our innovative online courses can help your employees learn the fundamentals they need to know. And when it's time to grow your team, we can teach IP professionals the basics behind the legacy network. Watershed will work with you to make sure your team gets it.

We'll see who wins in Phoenix in February, but we know who has to win the real game. Let's start training!

Sincerely,

Walt Mansell
