Technology Stocks : Siebel Systems (SEBL) - strong buy? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

So TD you believe, correct me if I am wrong, that Siebel will focus on the "demand chain process" portion of the app. Meaning, I take it, they would write the front end portal of sorts where customers would define and configure their purchase and then the Siebel app would send it to a true/robust supply chain app.

In short the supply chain portion comes through a partnership with someone else while Siebel focuses on the front end portal and CRM. Please correct where I am wrong and fill in the spaces I have missed. Thanks!

p.s. where do you think IBM's e-commerce offering will fit into the picture?

That's what I think, but you know more about this area than I do, so I appreciate getting your thoughts.

Trader Dave,

I agree entirely with your post and was reading along expecting somebody to say that.

If anything I would love to see partnering with ITWO where the two spheres of CRM and SCM meet. ITWO has won the SCM war and it doesn't make sense for SEBL to fight that losing battle when there are so many others that can be more easily won.
