Geez, I'm still trying to figure out Point D'Appui. Have these folks not yet learned that it takes a wee while for real knowledge to sink it. Do you know anything about Point D'Appui's Cainet product? Is this just another name for the "Fulcrum Knowledge Network" or something else? ''The knowledge management market is really about a new class of business intelligence applications,'' said Ford Goodman, chief executive officer of Relevance Technologies ... Is there any significance in the Good based surnames of the two industry pioneers? If you can get your hands on a copy of "Silcon Valley North" Toronto, July Edition, you will find a spotlight article on Lynn Kauffman, Pres. PC Docs Canada. Two interesting quotes from the article are: "What differentiates a successful software organization from an unsuccessful one is not how sexy their product is, but their infrastructure and their distribution network, which takes years to build up." "She doesn't expect to see the fruits of the new acquisition (ie Point D'Appui) until late 99, recognizing that this type of technology has a long lead time. Their sales force and channel partners (ie Michael et all) are currently in training to get everyone up to speed with the new product line." The June issue had a similar article on Bryan Kerdman. I have yet to read this edition. Off to the library, I go. nf
