I ordered a handheld (Pharos 525+ Traveler) through you guys a few weeks ago in addition to an Inspiron 1720. I have noted the Inspiron and XPS delays on the internet and this blog, but was hoping that my handheld would not be a problem. However, I got a "First Notification of Order Delay" for my handheld yesterday. Are you also experiencing supply issues with handhelds in addition to the laptops?

Thanks for your answer on this.

John

Greetings Kieran …

I response to your post … I created my title of supply chain evangelist about 3 years ago as it fit my role of 'customer executive education' a bit better than my previous title of Senior Manager of Global Supply Chain Strategies. It has certainly provoked a lot of conversation.

I am customer-facing in my role and spend my time meeting with customer executives and describing how our supply chain works and how they could apply our techniques to their business—I created this role about 5 years ago after spending the first part of my 15 year Dell career managing big parts of Dell's supply chain. I am the only person of Dell's 79,000 teammates that does this full time. As I spend time with customers understanding their business I run across best-practices on their side and bring them back to my colleagues who are running our supply chain … I often end up being the point-of-contact for benchmarking efforts.

I'll e-mail more details to you directly so you can get a better idea of my background—after spending the last 28 years of my life as a supply chain practitioner in various roles and companies I feel privileged to represent the best managed supply chain on the planet—good luck with your quest!

Mike,

Can you please give me some information on your "Evangelist" role.

I think the title accurately describes what my aspirations are within our company (there is no such role ....yet!) - but would love some more information.

Thanks
