 Dear XXX
 
-Yes, indeed a year has passed. Well, back then you guys kind of blew it when your sales lead (?) insisted on discussing an entire enterprise transformation strategy and our distributed API-first architecture and planned budget wasn’t quite in your general ()deal) ballpark. Since our technology Strategy for the Haufe Group calls for being [like the web and not behind the web](http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html) your commercial model apparently made it quite a bit difficult to engage on such a small scale.

 But I was delighted to see your most recent white papers which closely track our Technology Strategy. I think it fully validates our approach to provide decentralized API management based on the basis of a bounded (business) context (Conway's law applies to API Management too).
