"Significant achievements this year have enabled us to remain a recognized leader in the Internet-enabled EDI supply-chain commerce space which Geoffrey Moore has identified as 'a truly killer app' (The Gorilla Game, pp. 298)," said Steve Vanechanos, Jr., CEO of DynamicWeb. "Some of our major accomplishments include a successful $4.4M public offering, a partnering agreement with Sterling Commerce (SE), a roll-out of our latest EDIxchangeBuy 2.0 technology with Linens 'n Things (LIN), and the launching of our Professional Services Group with the acquisition of Design Crafting."
"Several external events pointing to the market moving in our direction also occurred," said Vanechanos. "The highly successful offering of Exodus Communications (EXDS) vindicated our decision to build our entire EC network around their state-of-the-art Web hosting facilities. Netscape's (NSCP) recent decision to migrate their browser technology to an open-source model validates our choice of Apache and Perl, both open source technologies, as the core building blocks for our EDIxchange technology."
"Other important events included distribution agreements with RealWorld and Synchronics for our EDIxchangeConnect offering as well as the Healthcare EDI Coalition (HEDIC) for our EDIxchangeBuy/Sell offerings," said Vanechanos.
"Looking forward, the quantity and quality of leads in our pipeline has never looked better," said Vanechanos. "As this emerging market evolves our key challenge rests on our ability to convert quality leads into committed customers."
