Your right Carl, the second release just provided more detail into the plan. Here is another release I forgot to post: Sagent Unveils Move Into Analytic Applications Offers New Solutions for Insurance, Financial Services and Web Analytics biz.yahoo.com MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 28, 2001--Sagent (Nasdaq:SGNT - news), a leading provider of Business Intelligence solutions, today announced a new wave of analytical applications for the property and casualty sector of the insurance industry, community banks and credit unions, and the second generation Web analytics market. This announcement is a result of the company's new strategic move to develop and deliver application solutions that are built on Sagent's proven technology and which incorporate specific intellectual capital to ensure customers' rapid return on their investments. These new analytic applications utilize an application framework, built from the start, for Web delivery of information. The framework incorporates application specific data models, a Web-portal user interface, a metadata repository, specific reports and analyses, and security functions--all designed to measure and report on application-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This approach provides for rapid implementation and ease of customization. ``Sagent has worked closely with hundreds of our customers to build solutions that meet their specific business needs,'' said Ben Barnes, president and CEO, Sagent. ``These solutions leverage this experience and knowledge, and are field proven and leading-edge.'' ``Speed to market remains a critical issue to our customers' business success,'' Barnes added. ``Our analytic applications enable customers to have access to valuable business information and the ability to act quickly on that data through sophisticated analyses.
