>My only issues with OTEXF is that they are not making money

The just crossed the line last quarter, they are one of the
few intranet companies making a profit...

opentext.com

>I know documentum sales where 78 million...

You have to realize a number of factors here..

1/ Documentum has been around in their market a lot longer
than Open Text, if you compare the two, Open Text is blowing
away Documentum in number of installed seats and growth.
Open Text has only been in this market for 2 years how long has
Documentum been at it
2/ Most importantly is the market space, Documentum has a snails
pace of growth ahead of it compared to Open Text, Documentum has
to install software on each clients desktop, Open Text sends out
a URL to install. That is why Open Text is growing quicker than
Open Text

(However, I do own both stocks :-)
