Speaking of IBM Mike I thought you might find this announcement from IBM (just came out) interesting... Something about it just got my antennas 'popping up'! Maybe it's 'a woman's intuition' or maybe I'm just up too late! (dog gone SI has done it to me again!)

"On Monday, IBM will announce its WebSphere Commerce Suite 4.1, which the company said aims to help companies boost sales through customer loyalty and targeted marketing programs."

Interesting that they should mention that the new software package is targeting "customer loyalty" as one of it's primary missions.. Isn't "customer loyalty" CRM's playing field??? Doesn't IBM NOT have a CRM offering anymore? Isn't Siebel IBM's CRM 'offering' now? What gives?

Really grabbing at straws here but perhaps this is a very close collaboration between Siebel and IBM to roll out e-business solutions with Siebel's software being one of the cornerstones to this family of software. How close is this relationship anyway???

One thing I know is that with all the 'news' and what my 'gut' is telling me right now about Siebel I've pulled off all of my sell limit orders to wait things out and digest the news and earnings as it unfolds this week. I sure would hate to sell too low! <g>
