Finding more stuff: Ellen Hancock, CEO, Comments on Growth from "Techsearch" Interview December 06, 1999, Issue: 423 Section: Feature Articles The Start Up and the Grown Up -- A 30-Year IBM Veteran, Ellen Hancock Gets Young Exodus Down To Business. Karen Lynch Interesting quote from the interview: "From the demand side, where is this market in terms of its growth? In the third quarter, we added four and a half customers a day to our system. And the average price that the customer is paying went up. It's $176,000, annualized. And our sales people are saying, "Look, we're leaving some deals behind because we just don't have enough people to work on the RFPs [requests for proposal]." So we just keep adding revenue. And so the analysts have now increased the estimates for 2000 and 2001. For the first time now, the analysts are showing us at over a billion dollars of revenue in 2001, with about $600 million for the next year. So there are several aspects that just say this business was even better than we thought it was going to be about a quarter ago. And it's clear that we're the leader. We've won somewhere between 75 and 85 percent of our bids since we went public. We host 36 percent of the top 100 Web sites."
