I don't think interpreted my post the way I intended. I was trying to point out that "hypergrowth" is an improper expectation for enterprise application companies unless there's a green field. The exception to that rule in the last three years was caused by the y2k problem forcing more rapid adoption of erp systems to replace older non-compliant systems. As far as CIS, expectations for 50% growth might be too high in the support segment and vantive may have been running to fast to try to keep up. Perhaps if last year's estimates were lower, they could have built some more room for sales force ramp up and increased visibility. TD
