Troubled database contender Informix reorganizes By Wylie Wong Staff Writer, CNET News.com news.cnet.com The company is building a new high-end database and creating versions of its e-commerce software to support database technology from rivals Oracle, IBM and others, said analyst Terilyn Palanca of Giga Information Group. "It's a lot for them to bite off, but their technology is attractive," Palanca said. "They have to prove they can stabilize their finances and deliver the new technology within a year." ... Analysts say Informix is taking chances with the new strategy. The e-business software used to help sell Informix's database to its customers, said analyst Palanca. "The database will now have to sink or swim on its own, which is dangerous," she said. "They have a good customer base, but they need to expand it." "There's no guarantee they will do well, but they have a better shot in succeeding now than they've had in a quite some time," said Palanca. "It's more focused, and they certainly have a much more experienced executive team."
