Thomas, In my longer presentation I refer to Siebel and others as 'web-enabled client/server' applications. I will give you this point. In what way does Siebel help me integrate my view onto data beyond the Siebel sphere? How does it let me view the inventory levels at a supplier so that I can answer a customer delivery question? Gotta run, Patti's home with the groceries. Paul

Thomas, I really do not know where to begin to reply. Either we disagree about first principles or I am taking your post to be an overly strong endorsement of Siebel. Let me see if I can narrow the gap a little. Are any of the following statements true: - You believe that there is not an architectural shift underway to a entirely web based architecture. - You believe that there is a new architecture emerging and the transition is mostly smooth and not disruptive. - You believe that there is a disruptive new architecture emerging and Siebel is managing their technology in order to be succesful in the post-disruption market. - You believe that there is a disruptive new architecture emerging and Siebel will become a/the dominant supplier of enabling software. Your answer will help me answer your post. Thanks, Paul
