I think I asked this before (at the start of the year), but if I were given an actual real-world *enterprise* customer /whom I could interview/ to get the *full story* of how they came to use Smalltalk, especially if they were coming from a major language such as Java, and what their particular corporate issues were that compelled them to look for a better solution, then I could run with it and write a lengthy story highlighting the unique advantages of Smalltalk in solving these issues. It would be a huge marketing tool /because readers (hopefully, enterprise users) could identify with the story/ and see themselves following the same trajectory toward Smalltalk/Pharo.
Perhaps somebody at ESUG or Pharo Consortium could provide such a reference?

If you need 'big names': https://gemtalksystems.com/about/customers/ especially the OOCL story is huge (i.e. world wide scale), http://www.gemstone.com/pdf/OOCL_SuccessStory.pdf Now, let's go back to work to make all this possible, it won't happen by itself (improving Pharo and filling all those missing libraries).
