Makamai, if we may add one response to your question, it appears you are referring to the concept of "co-branding" in which one company offers a service and another offers it's name. It is a very big thing on the net as of late As such, the hypothetical you propose is entirely possible. Regards, AGORA agoracom.com

Makamai, AGORA Yes, without a doubt co branding with Dr Bean will happen. In June when we heard that Jay was coming to the SYD BOD from Oracle I really expected that the Oracle venture fund was going to fuel a co-branded Dr Bean. Then the Oracle investment rumor was published in The Bloomberg.com on June 30th. Not that Oracle can't have a Dr Bean in the family, but a fine tuned hybrid Oracle-Dr. Bean would be a powerful "anti Siebel" weapon in the Oracle arsenal for their declared war towards better e-commerce coverage. It is such a natural and so important I cannot believe we have not heard some internal leaks on this. Hey... you can't keep a secret in this town! But evidently that is just what Sideware is doing.
