So, are ARBA's bugs affecting its ability to sell and collect on invoices? Certainly that the bugs will affect sales. This is much more of the case now than before, since competitors are out with their products. If Marketplace is really that bad, as I am claiming, there will not be much transaction cut that Ariba can take from Marketplace 7.2. Also, for the market makers who licensed Marketplace, many will not be able to pay off the additional payments to Ariba because their marketplaces are not generating much revenue. This probably will start showing up in Ariba's numbers some time soon. lkj
