CM,

This stock has been pretty boring lately. I wanted to see the company present at the CIBC conference last week but the slot changed and I missed them.

I am hearing that Kobi Wan (is that movie over yet?) and co. are going for the kill against those 20lb weaklings Centigram, Intervoice and Glenayre. In addition they have focused all their energy on winning US RBOC wireless accounts which would be fine with me.

The partnership with Cisco is beginning to take shape as well. Or at least I am getting a better handle on it. They are looking at prepaid opportunities, where by the way we are really sticking it to Ericsson, and the partnership is going to work with the Amteva middleware product, along with the IP/PBX stuff from Selsius and the call center product from newly acquired Geotel. Cisco has been active there (acquisitions) and is really running hard. A friend of mine just joined CSCO/Geotel and is moving to Chicago and filled me in a little bit on what they are planning to do.

On the wireline side, apparently a few of the service providers are beginning to push the voicemail marketing hard after seeing the success a few people had in taking taking penetration from the mid teens % to the thirties.

Looks like we are set to hit the $1 billion revenue mark next FY. Almost calls for a KAMPAI!
