At this time I don't worry about MSFDC and Banc One. In any market we'll find some small number of people who don't go with the leader. People buy from people. If CKFR keeps their customers happy with low cost, innovation and great service, they should continue to lead the market. Anything less lets competitors in the door. If we see CKFR's customers switching to competitors, then I'd worry. Are there any compelling reasons for banks go with MSFDC?

[competition?] Brooks and all -- This is an old press release, but the list of companies working with Daleen is intriguing. Do you know if this is a competitor or a company with complementary products? I notice when they list telcos, they refer to past business, not present. Just curious. Pat <<< For immediate release (September 18, 1997) Daleen Technologies, Inc., a software development company specializing in Billing and Customer Care solutions, announced that it has completed a private placement of its convertible preferred stock with HarbourVest Partners, L.L.C. (formerly Hancock Venture Partners), headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The total proceeds from the investment by HVP were $7.5 million initially. In addition, Ofer Nemirovsky, Managing Director of HarbourVest, was elected to the Board of Directors of Daleen. The Company will use the investment proceeds for working capital, to expand its sales and marketing, development and professional services staff, and to repay debt. Daleen Technologies is a Boca Raton, Florida-based company that develops software products and services for the rapidly-growing Billing and Customer Care industry. Its flagship product, BillPlexT, is a state-of-the-art convergent billing and customer care solution for telecommunications companies and communications providers.
