GREAT!! Tom, thank you so much! I'm in a cybercafe right now, in downtown Brussels... those stupid guys have scrambled their whole Web-access procedures... so, I was unable to access quote.yahoo.com! Anyway, you said you were worried about ODIS's earnings momentum? Hey, they beated analysts' estimates by 100% last time!! They made 4 cents/share instead of 2! BTW, the British Telecom contract's worth $5.5 million and is spread over 2 years --this should inflate the bottom line. Excerpt: BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Object Design, Inc., (Nasdaq: ODIS) a leading provider of enterprise and embedded data management solutions, today announced that British Telecommunications plc (BT) has selected Object Design(R) as its strategic partner for the development of its next-generation customer telemarketing services platform-code-named "Cambridge." In a contract valued at approximately $5.5 million, BT will use Object Design's ObjectStore(R) database in its largest real-time system development to date. Cambridge will provide increased levels of service flexibility, functionality and capacity for BT's InBound services, and will help BT differentiate its "0800" and "0900" toll-free call-routing and call-planning services for its top-tier corporate customers from those of its competitors. ObjectStore was chosen for its performance, scalability and suitability for real-time data processing environments following a competitive evaluation. Additionally, its native interface to development languages such as C++, Java and ActiveX, will save BT between 25-40 percent in application development code, enabling developers to bring new products and services to market more quickly. The contract incorporates a development site license for ObjectStore over a two-year period from July 1998, which enables other groups within BT to take advantage of ObjectStore's distributed data-caching architecture and seamless language interface capability. The agreement also includes consultancy, training and 24x7 support services for the deployment of this strategic application. It's a winner-take-all dreamstory.... Gustave.
