MUST READ RE: AGIL From Red Herring Deep-pocketed institutional players who like the company. According to Agile's prospectus, "... Mohr, Davidow Ventures and Sequoia Capital own 33 percent and 20 percent of the company, respectively." Mohr Davidow (MDV), the Menlo Park, California, venture firm, includes two of the most well-known heralds of business-to-business enterprising -- Bill Davidow, who wrote Marketing High Technology and coauthored Total Customer Service and The Virtual Corporation, and Geoffrey Moore, who wrote Crossing The Chasm and Inside The Tornado and coauthored The Gorilla Game. In keeping with the published MDV philosophy of investing in "founders who have identified impressive market opportunities," Agile develops and markets so-called "product content management software." That is, software that allows companies to collaborate via the Internet by interactively exchanging information about the manufacture and supply of products and components. Agile's suite of software products is designed to allow all of the members of a manufacturing supply chain to communicate with one another about new or changing information concerning the manufacture, source, or supply of products or components. The company also provides services (about 40 percent of sales) including consulting, implementation, support, and training. Outsourcing production is geared toward creating supply chains that are more efficient, dynamic, and flexible than vertically integrated manufacturing operations. Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR) estimates that business-to-business e-commerce is expected to grow to $1.3 trillion in 2003, accounting for more than 90 percent of the dollar value of e-commerce in the United States.
