Today was my first day at Sterling Commerce in Bangalore. I joined Sterling Commerce as a Technical Architect. Sterling Commerce develops full lifecycle Supply Chain Management solutions. Their website is at http://www.sterlingcommerce.com.
Joining formalities took more than an hour to complete. After that, I was introduced to a couple of folks and shown to my desk. There was no phone yet, nor was there any reading material. I picked up a few information brochures that described their products. These were tailored for consumption by prospective customers, so it appeared a bit biased. I had difficulty keeping my eyes open till lunch. After lunch, I tried following up with IS to get my laptop, but it got delayed till 4:30. I had a meeting with my boss and other Project Managers from 3pm to 4pm, during which I learnt a bit about the current projects and customers. I spent time between 4:30pm and 6pm playing around with the laptop and installing necessary software.
