It escaped me that it went up today. Must have jumped at the end. Watch everyone chase ACOM and its clones. PER probably going to gross a billion dollar in revenues. Nine months revs totaled 861M. Sometimes people don't read the basic business per Yahoo. "Perot Systems Corp. provides information technology services and business solutions on a worldwide basis, focusing on three core disciplines: business integration; systems integration and applications development; and information technology infrastructure services." From the ACOM recent S1: AGENCY.COM is an international Internet professional services firm. We provide our clients with an integrated set of strategy, creative and technology services that take them from concept to launch and operation of their Internet businesses. Our strategy services include advising clients on business models for their online businesses, devising strategies so that clients can open new online distribution and sales channels, identifying opportunities to achieve operational efficiencies by pursuing online initiatives, and planning for the operations and organization necessary to support an online business. Our creative services include advising clients on how to effectively bring their brands online, developing graphic designs and Web site structure for client Web sites, and coordinating online marketing campaigns with clients' traditional advertising agencies. Our technology services include recommending and installing appropriate hardware and software networks, integration between Internet and older information technology systems, and implementation of electronic commerce systems to enable online sales, support and communication. Slightly different twist on the whole business of IT consulting. Our branch just had the IT officer retire. He made it look so easy, because he liked it. Now I see why companies hire PER and others. We can't even get the laser printer to quit making streaks. Have to call corporate for a tech. Jack
