Harry,
An excellent reason to keep Alta Vista rather then spinning it off. I don't think it would be that hard to implement. It would put us squarely on the cutting edge. What does that new Compaq commercial say before the Nightly Business News? Hmm, wonder if this plan is in the works already? Not real sure about the $50 credit for the net wallet, maybe $20 would be good.

Harry..Great article on AV and millicent. Someone else also posted it earlier this morning but the message should be repeated often. CPQ has got to do something with the assets it has. As it now stands these assets are liabilities as they are cash drains and consequently contribute nada. Use it or loose it is what I have been saying and it has to be soon since technology such as this has a short shelf life.

All,
I could have sworn that there is an "Alta VIsta" button on some new CPQ models, so it appears that using the portal is being done. Millicents is an excellent notion as well... CPQ is probably chomping at the bit with so many rich pathways to go, so many niches to fill, so many avenues to exploit. I wonder if there are no futurists among the analyst crowd?
