Good News for ORCL = Good News for MAPS. MAPS is in a strong position to benefit from their relationship with ORCL to supply spatial analysis applications for Oracle's Oracle8i database. Oracle yesterday reported very strong growth beating earnings estimates with EPS up 27% and revenues up 13%. But, what was key for MAPS was applications software revenues grew 31% and within that (CRM) customer resource management software grew 300%. This is exactly where MAPS is positioned with CRM applications as well as the very rapidly growing applications aimed at the telecom market. MAPS could not be better positioned for growth and riding the success of Oracle8i. But, with MAPS you are getting a company at a capitalization less cash at just over 2x revenues versus Oracle at 14 times revenues while MAPS earnings and revenues are growing twice as fast as Oracle. It looks like MAPS is just being discovered as a growth story and has a long way to run.
