TREY, yes... it seems the spinoff of Compelis could be a reality... the rumors are out there... The ASP thing is big. When you think about it, a spinoff is the most logical thing TREY could do.... At least when I think about it anyhow :) "ActiveRMS, an Internet-based Point of Sale and Retail Management Software system for Retailers, provides Compelis with the opportunity to develop a whole new level of marketing partner - the ASP. An ASP has the opportunity to not only provide the software, hardware, training & support (as in the case of the traditional reseller), they can now host the entire technology infrastructure in an outsourced web-based model, creating new revenue streams while lowering the infrastructure costs to the Retailer. The application service provider (ASP) market is expected to sizzle in the next few years. According to the information technology research firm IDC, companies spent $23 million in 1998 to have a third party host their applications. IDC predicts that the number will jump to $2 billion by 2003 with entire IS outsourcing topping $151 billion driven largely by small and medium-sized companies. Tom
