ASP's sure are on fire, look at EBAS & FLNK(both OTC's)! INIT is another, & of-course EXDS & USIX, BWAY... good post taken from RB , making comparison's of the strategies between EBAS, FLNK, and INIT: Message 11911097 ...and a great follow up post doing DD between EBAS & USIX + EXDS: Message 11911365 *And a general description of the ASP industry projected growth outlook: << The ASP industry has been compared to the Internet Service Provider (ISP) industry in the early 1990s. Its growth is expected to explode within the next three years. According to International Data Corp., corporate spending on high-end outsourced applications, such as ERP and e-commerce, will grow from an estimated $150.4 million this year to $2 billion by 2003, at a compound annual growth rate of 91%. This represents only high-end applications, and does not take into account the majority of software applications currently used by most businesses. According to the Forrester Research (Nasdaq:FORR - news), the packaged applications outsourcing market will grow to $21 billion by 2001. The ASP industry is growing so quickly because it solves all of the major financial problems typically associated with high-end software applications. For the first time, even small and midsize businesses will be able to afford almost everything they need to streamline their operations, up to the most complex enterprise-wide software applications on the market. ASP software hosting, also called ''software rental,' allows companies to access applications that are stored on central servers. In the past, companies were forced to purchase one-time software product licenses that were either based on the number of seats or the size of the company. This presented a major problem, especially for small and midsize businesses that have not been able to afford the significant up-front cost required purchasing the software. Companies then had to contract for the necessary professional services to implement those applications, including consulting and training services.>> ....this sector is definetely to be watched...and participated in. How high can EBAS fly? :-) 2MARS

There sure hasn't been much, if any, additional discussion on CNTR and think it deserves further scrutiny. Comments welcome. Message 11921722 centurasoft.com Message 11921841 Message 11916019 4. CTD2.0 (Centura Team Developer) beta version is now available. This now gives a developer the ability to write advanced Internet applications ? to e-Business enable your current applications. We have also recently introduced the Centura Complimentary Solutions Provider Program (CSPP) where we will be packaging together, on a trial basis, some of the best add-on features for CTD. Culled from leading CTD developers from around the world these add-on packages will further enhance CTD, making it the best enterprise application development environment for the professional developer. Message 11918220 Third, we re-freshed the major products in the Company. We introduced our Embedded SQLBase 7.0 and our Active X version of Centura Team Developer, our application development solution. More importantly, however, during the first quarter of 1999 we introduced our "first to market" secure, embedded database called SQLBase SafeGarde. Our thesis is that information increases in value when it is accessible and secure. Especially as it relates to the new distributed, Internet and appliance computing environments, this information must be secure. No competitor offers this end-to-end secure solution. Now, our customers and our customers? customers can access their information reliably, cost-effectively and without needing to become security experts. Furthermore, we have developed this solution without sacrificing performance.
