From the Broadvision Profile Company Description - From 10-K (March 1997) "BroadVision, Inc. ("BroadVision" or the "Company") provides industrial-strength software application solutions for personalized, one-to-one business systems on the global Internet, Intranets, and Extranets. These solutions enable rapid and cost-effect prototyping, development, and on-going operation of electronic commerce, customer service, interactive publishing and knowledge management applications over the Net. The Company's products and services are targeted at business developing Web site applications for consumers and business customers as well as employees. The Company's products provide the open, scalable, database architecture, expert business logic, dynamic control, secure transaction processing, and matching-based personalization capabilities essential for profitable Net business. The Company specializes in end-to-end solutions for the financial services, retail, travel, media and telecommunications industries. The Company licenses its products to customers through a direct sales force, distributors, value-added resellers and system integrators. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had licensed to over 48 customers and has signed agreements with 32 partners worldwide." Competition From 10-K (March 1997) "The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience increased competition.The Company currently encounters direct competition from Connect, Inc., Netscape Communications Corporation, Open Market Incorporated, and Microsoft Corporation among others." I'm not clear. Is Broadvision involved in e-commerce or merely produce a product that enables e-commerce? Also, how much of their business is geared toward other types of information management vs. commerce initiatives?
