Rick, the company has redone the website piece on Sentinel C/M. With your background in IT management you will appreciate it more than most.

This software runs on the mainframe, and is run on newly developed software as part of the pre-compile to assure the new code is compliant with enterprise standards for Y2K, zip codes, phone numbers, store and part numbers and a host of other individual standards the IT manager might want to set prior to new code being placed into production. Another use of this tool in the future would be to check for proper XML data tagging or in the case of the financial world FpML tagging.

My guess is that the software will be sold for very low six figures and carry the usual 15-20% renewal and maintenance fees. The company says it will sell the software using private label re-sellers which shows it has finally learned something about market channels.

One technical person I talked to said that Sentinel C/M is not sexy, it's like a screwdriver, most people need one.

The EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) effort in this country is huge. Sentinel C/M is but the first offering in a whole suite of products as part of Forecross' EAI and XML initiative.
