Atomicans talk, the industry listens

Atomicans are smarter than the average bear. We know it, you know it, and the IT industry knows it. So it made perfect sense to bring it all together and share that glorious expertise. Thus, we formed the Atomic Focus Group.

Atomicans are smarter than the average bear. We know it, you know it, and the IT industry knows it. So it made perfect sense to bring it all together and share that glorious expertise. Thus, we formed the Atomic Focus Group.

We put out the call on the Atomic site, asking for Atomicans willing to participate in a true Focus Group, and it was no surprise to see a healthy bunch of volunteers.

Our very first Focus Group session was held recently and it was a great success. Our target company was Lenovo, the PC division formerly known as IBM. In a bunker in North Sydney we gathered. First Lenovian supergeek George Mobbs presented to Atomicans his vision of how a laptop really should be used, and it wasn’t for spreadsheets, kids. Next up Atomicans gave Lenovo a piece of the collective Atomican mind, sharing their thoughts and opinions about a wide range of technologies.

A marvellous night, which ended with a trivia play-off for cool Lenovo toys, plus everyone went home with a sporty new HIS graphics jacket courtesy of AMI Technologies.

Proof, if ever it was needed, that Atomicans are held in the highest regard by the IT industry, so much so that your opinions actively influence a major company like Lenovo. Bravo.
