Hello to all: Been a little concerned about the time its taking to announce the 'e-route' deal with the banks so i called Anne Bellevieu
P.R. of Emergis. Identified my self as a shareholder of Emergis.

She reassured me that all is OK. Admitted that its taken more than the '6 - 8 weeks'. She said 'all the lawyers are finalizing things'
and we should have an annoucment by end of May.

Coincidently its the time that BCE will be getting all that $$$$
from Ameritech that Emergis will benefit from!

Also said there woud be a couple of ' other ' small announcments.
Guess the business to business wood industry auction was one of them. (Am surprised it didnt pop up the price a little)

Got this feeling the Emergis will be seeking out a 'portal'
arrangment soon- with all the different things wants it to do- it looks logical to me that a 'portal' route is needed in the future

Also told Ms Belliveau that I own some CKFR and follow thier progress closely. Commented they are really rolling along signing up its 49th
biller while we 'take time' to finalize the eroute thing.
Said that Emergis 'natural' priority is to 'do Canada' first (agree)
then Emergis would tackle the US acquisition project (agree)

Suspect they already must know who they want in the US and it will
come ''fast'' after end of May.

Belliveau also said they feel very confortable working with the Microsoft part of Transpoint and that the new president of Transpoint
was very competent.
Do you all know that Transpoint had been without a president for many months? Transpoint has just finally announced its first 3 online billers on its web site a few days ago after 'many many delays'

The CKFR thread really trashes Transpoint for its lateness and lack of
ability to sign up billers . Is it a technology issue?

This concerns me a little too cause it 'may' have been the reason why
e - route is late also. Do we have the right partner here? Hope so.

Few weeks ago someone talked about a split.
Suspect that that could happen too in June when we hit 60'ish

With all that is expected to happen by June
the June month should see the IFM price boosted significantly
