ACOM Competitors
We compete with other providers of Internet professional services. The market for these services has grown dramatically in recent years as a result of the increasing use of the Internet
by businesses for communication, marketing and information dissemination to their customers, suppliers, business partners and employees. Our market is intensely competitive, highly
fragmented and subject to rapid technological change. We expect competition to persist and intensify in the future. Our current and potential competitors include: Internet professional
services firms, such as iXL, Organic Online, Proxicom, Razorfish, Scient, USWeb/CKS and Viant; traditional strategic consulting firms, such as Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Boston
Consulting Group and McKinsey; interactive advertising agencies, such as Modem Media.Poppe Tyson and OgilvyOne; professional services groups of computer equipment
companies, such as Hewlett-Packard and IBM; traditional systems integrators, such as Andersen Consulting, Cambridge Technology Partners, EDS and Sapient; and internal
resources of current or potential clients. We believe the principal competitive factors in our market are: breadth and integration of service offerings; cost and quality of service; client
relationships; technical knowledge and creative skills; reliability; ability to attract and retain quality professionals; brand recognition; reputation; and vertical industry knowledge. We
believe that we compete favorably with respect to these factors, but we cannot assure you that we will continue to do so in the future.
