Important Emails
Action Required
McKinsey opportunity stalled at Discovery — Playground push needed
Sales Operations · "Action Required - Consider Playground Setup: McKinsey & Company, Inc./New 2026/" · 1:01 AM ET
McKinsey & Company opportunity (USD 817,500, Discovery stage, close date 6/30/2027) completed a demo but hasn't progressed to a Playground setup. Recommended action: get the contact into the Playground to keep the evaluation moving.
TD Bank's Ermal Gjylameti sent catch-up availability
Replying to Dan's voicemail. Offered slots: Sep 23 3–4 PM, Sep 24 4–5 PM, or Sep 25 8:30–9 AM / 9:30–10 AM. Ermal is traveling Sep 29–Oct 1 and Oct 5–6, so this week is the window — needs a reply to lock a time.
1Password wants to confirm your new email address
1Password · "Confirm new email address for your 1Password account" · 2:40 PM ET, Sep 22
A NetBrain admin requested changing the 1Password account email from Dan.Abreu@netbraintech.com to Dan.Abreu@netbrain.com, matching the ongoing domain migration. Needs sign-in confirmation on 1Password.com or account access could be disrupted.
Claude/SSO login fix should be synced — worth retrying
Henry Chu, NetBrain IT · "[NetBrain North America] Re: Need help logging out of Claude" · 3:28 PM ET, Sep 22
IT updated Dan's account to the @netbrain.com domain and asked him to retry Claude login after a 24-hour sync window — that window has now passed, so today is the first chance to confirm it actually works.
FYI
New account assigned: Stony Brook Medicine
Eren Togan · "Account transferred to you." / "Contract transferred to you." · 4:39 PM ET, Sep 22
Stony Brook Medicine account plus two contracts (00011919, 00011920) were assigned to Dan — worth a look in Salesforce to get oriented before any customer contact.
CIBC currency/EOL policy case still open
Jim Dalby (CIBC) & Nicole Huang · "RE: CIBC -NetBrain currency policy/schedule - case#00195118" · 6:46 AM ET today
NetBrain confirmed Elasticsearch/Windows Server/RHEL end-of-support dates are set by their vendors, not NetBrain, and asked whether CIBC runs the NetBrain OVA appliance or self-managed systems. CIBC replied this morning: they load the OVA onto a system built by DXC — awaiting NetBrain's next response on tailoring the compatibility guidance.
Baron Capital technical cadence recap (Sep 22)
Yaswant Vutukuri · "Re: Netbrain - Baron Technical Meeting | MOM (22-Sep)" · 4:44 AM ET today
Next session Oct 6. Open items: Baron's Vince to get Azure permissions for the third VNet and rerun discovery, plus schedule an internal Ansible demo; NetBrain's Yaswant to check on extending agent support beyond the hard-coded Rocky Linux 9.7 requirement.
Krishna Makani · "Re: DTCC - NetBrain Weekly Automation - Post Meeting Notes" · 2:12 PM ET, Sep 22
EIGRP topology report refinements continue; ~40 routers still have blank routing-protocol entries under investigation. Device-uptime notification intent nearly finalized, targeting Monday 7:15/7:30/8:00 AM auto-build/run/email schedule. Open support cases include a benchmark crash awaiting root cause and the Infoblox rediscover issue.
