Ed: What do you mean?
Jamie: Well, I gave Lisa Perez a call. She’s the marketing honcho on that.
Vinod: And?
Jamie: I wanted her to tell me about SafeHome features and functions … that sort of

surveillance systems. I’m no expert.
Vinod: What does that tell you?
Jamie shrugs.
Vinod: That marketing will need us to act as consultants and that we’d better do

that he wanted us to ‘collaborate’ with our customer, so we’d better learn how
to do that.
