Gary, thanks for your post. I recommend that anyone who is taking a look at investing in RWDT call the company and get a copy of the quarterly Technology Report, which has won several important corporate communications awards. The report gives a lot of good information on what is driving the record sales that RWD is currently experiencing.
For the benefit of those who don't have time to go through the entire report, here are some highlights:
In his column, company founder and CEO R.W. Deutsch talks about how RWD is now marketing itself not just to large companies, but also to smaller firms. The demand for its services among smaller firms is one of the factors driving the record sales that RWD is currently experiencing. According to Dr. Deutsch, "RWD has established Latitude360 as a business unit that is organized to respond rapidly to emerging opportunities arising from new and developing Internet technologies in e-Learning and e-Solutions. Latitude360 provides complete delivery systems - including hosting services and Web content - for many of the most sophisticated needs of small and large companies engaged in Internet applications.
As an example of the work being done by Latitude360, the Technology Report cites Hayward Industries of New Jersey, who have retained RWD to develop an Internet Strategic Plan to provide strategy and direction to Hayward's Internet presence. According to Charles Whipple, Marketing VP of Hayward, "One of the reasons we chose RWD e-Solutions to develop our Internet Strategy was their proven track record in delivering solutions on time and within budget. We were looking for a company that could provide us not only with the development of the next generation Web site, but also assist us in delivering solutions across the full spectrum of the Internet. We are very pleased with the progress made thus far, and look to continue our relationship with RWD."
RWD is now partnered with many other leading vendors of Internet products, including SAP, Siebel, and i2. There's a good article in the Technology Report about how the partnership with i2 combines the strengths of RWD's proprietary lean manufacturing methodology with the power of i2's Internet products. Today's announcement regarding the agreement with Sequoia Software marks another important partnership between RWD and a leading edge provider of Internet products.
In the ERP space, RWD has been named a mySAP.com Partner. According to the Technology Report, "More than 150 companies received a Request for Information to become a mySAP.com partner, and RWD was one of the few companies selected."
In the e-learning space, the Technology Report also has a good article on the corporate university RWD is developing for Fujitsu. According to Joseph Carlisle, the director of the Fujitsu corporate university, "Fujitsu Online Corporate University System (FOCUS) answers the challenge of bringing world-class training to every Fujitsu employee. The complexity of such an immense project requires the right professional partner. RWD is the perfect fit." |
