Excellent post Carl. I see that you are still studying this market. You know what I'm going to write next: Hummingbird. They had an excellent earnings report and have the resources and existing technologies to be the winner in the EIP market. biz.yahoo.com A few notes from the release: Further to our positive pre-announcement on October 10, 2000 we are pleased to announce financial results that have surpassed both our own and the Street's expectations," said Fred Sorkin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our success during the fourth quarter attests to the growing support in the marketplace for the Hummingbird EIP and the company's strategy of providing enterprises with end-to-end software solutions. We are experiencing positive momentum in all of our product lines, and the businesses are beginning to exhibit significant synergy with products being purchased in bundles to create a comprehensive solution. 54 EIP deals were completed during the fourth quarter. Significant wins included: Cybersberg, Lockwood Greene, BNP Paribas, Conoco and Hewlett Packard. Other large deals during the quarter included sales of document management and connectivity solutions to such organizations as Pirelli, U.S. Bureau of Census, Lucent, Atraxis and Wells Fargo. In addition to the new EIP sales that were completed during the fourth quarter, we have begun to see tangible progress in key pilots that were purchased earlier in the year. We continue to see a "pull through" effect for all of our products with EIP sales. We believe our strategy that EIP would be sold as a solution with our other products has been validated. The unveiling and subsequent launch of Enterprise Portal Suite dominated our product release activity during the quarter. Portal Suite has strategic importance for Hummingbird, supporting the development of a platform into which the company's document management, and data integration and reporting solutions can be seamlessly integrated to simplify the experience for end- users.
