An interesting post from the Yahoo thread regarding the launch of the portal site:

<<<
by: Vindication (M/Los Angeles, CA)
5065 of 5110
[continued]

Eli Shapira was there to first give overall summary of the company and also to announce the public testing phase (till May) of the Portal site. He mentioned alot of the technical aspects of the company and portal site which were impressive but my investor ears were tuned into picking out information which you and I could use in order to gage our company...

Insights...
1) Purpose of Portal is to keep leadership in existing markets and ensure customer loyalty while attracting potential clients
2) Internet Servers are expected to quadruple from 4 million to 14 million in next 4 years [this implies that the market is there for WEBT's products]
3) WEBT has 1/3 of Fortune 500 companies as clients/customers
4) WEBT has 12 consecutive quarters of INCREASING revenue - Revenues last year totaled about 8 million
5) WEBT has 46% of the market for Enterprising software (software to manage, analyse and report on website activities). The following is the breakdown of market share...

46% -- Webtrends
7% --- Marketwave
7% --- Home Grown Solutions
4% --- Net Genius
4% --- WebTrac
3% --- Microsoft
3% --- Open Market
26% -- Others
____
100% total

Interestingly, the Founder or CEO ( or some big guy) from Marketwave was there during the conference and he brought up a "dispute" on the numbers that Eli Shapira put up there. The numbers were calculated based on a survey of 2400 webmasters. Marketwave guy mentioned that the 2400 webmasters were a "small" survey group but WOULD NOT contend that Webtrends is the leader well in the lead (a humble moment for the competition).>>>

The future looks bright for WEBT.
