Skunk Works

skunk

“Skunk Works” was (still is?) the official name for Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Development Programs. Since then, the term has been frequently used to describe “off the grid” hit or miss, bold experiments.

Convergence Soup has started it’s own Skunk Works program designed to go outside the box for Catalyst partners to find new opportunities. SSW may not be as audacious as the program that produced the U2 aircraft (considering it took me 3 minutes to get it off the ground); however, sometimes the best ideas are the simplest, right?

Today’s results from Soup Skunk Works, while primitive, produces one potential Juniper or Extreme opportunity and 2 or 3 Nortel/Aura migration opportunities. Results will change daily because it’s a snapshot in time. Eventually I’ll figure out how to put these into some sort of RSS feed or something.

Check it out!

Good Selling,

Tom
