Time for bed! Lol!.. Just thought I would add this tidbit that was at the bottom of IBM's press release...

"One technology research firm, International Data Corp., forecasts that e-commerce will surge to $1.3 trillion by 2003 from the $111 billion registered in 1999. Fully 86 percent of that projected total will come from so-called business-to-business electronic commerce"

That's one sweet tornado no? <vbg> I could see why IBM (and Siebel?) are going after this with all guns blazing.

mtnlady,

How close is this relationship anyway???

I remember Pat House being quoted in an article that IBM has literally thousands of salespeople selling Siebel's product. I assumed than and now she was referring to the out-of-the-box products that are an integrated package of IBM's DB2 relational database and Siebel products.
