Maher,

Regarding your reference to the case studies, do you have some idea of how many of these contractual relationships are enterprise-related and how many are new since the Visigenic acquisition? It seems to me that we need to know how much the Visigenic contribution is creating new revenue to judge the future revenue potential for Inprise. It is not clear to me that very many of these cases relate to the Visigenic contribution.

Sam

From a brief glance at your list, the majority are Borland customers. There's a smattering of 1996 vintage Entera systems (Motorola goes back even earlier than that), but the majority are traditional front-end development country. My question could be better phrased, how is the Inprise enterprise strategy tracking? Pointing to a list of pre-strategy change achievements does not give us much guidance.
