Dennis: I think ASND purchased ORCL's MIS system for internal operations management purpose. Correct me if I am wrong.

Oracle MIS system is for internal reporting only. It is not a sale of a system. The benefit is that this system will allow finance to know what is in the pipeline from order entry foreward to financial statements. ASND had a new hire to implement this system approximately 2 months ago. I had applied for the position, but they got someone else with more direct experience, who had put the Oracle system in at a similar company. This system adds to the visibility and will help Michael Ashby get to comfort on guiding the street higher as the orders come in. Dennis
