Welcome aboard!
I seem to remember that CEO Perreault was referring to additional hiring in his last conference call: that's a good sign for sure. An additional workforce of 40/50 people couldn't hurt --ODIS's bottomline is already fat enough. Besides, I'm confident with the current 99Q1. As far as the competition tells us something, ODBMSs are gaining momentum lately:
here's an excerpt from my post #2747 on this thread...
Silicon Valley's Objectivity, Inc. Doubles New Customer Wins
Company Closes Calendar Year '98 Profitable and Growing
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 18, 1999-- Objectivity, Inc., the leading provider of distributed, scalable object databases, today announced that during calendar year 1998 the company more than doubled the number of new customers compared to 1997. Additionally, in the last two quarters, Objectivity has already surpassed the number of new customer wins it had during its entire fiscal year 1998.
Furthermore, it's interesting to note that German softwarehouse Software AG is planning a competitive offering of eXcelon, that is Tamino. However, by the time Tamino's rolling out, eXcelon should be in its 2.0 version!
From what I've read in several financial "gossips", we might witness a shift in the allocation of money inflows from the large caps towards the small/medium caps. The disappointing results from big, index-related, large caps such as Intel, Oracle, Dell Comp. could trigger a massive buying spree in the small-cap sector --especially in the undervalued, profitable high-tech sector.
