Peep, Chris et al: As Siemens has confirmed, they are helping to develop a "unique" product for Financial Intranet. That doesn't mean that some potential rival can't take similar off-the-shelf hardware and software from other suppliers and get into the same exact business. In fact (and as MS has stated) there are rivals out there right now competing against Financial Intranet for portions of the same offering. The uniqueness of Financial Intranet is in their mix of products and the advantageous price points at which these products can be sold. MS told me that no other company is currently positioned to do what FNTN is doing and that it would take a potential competitor a minimum of 9 months to 22 months to compete against FNTN on a level field. It took Siemens 2 years to take FNTN to market - logically, a competitor would be hard-pressed to work the same magic in less then 9 months. Wally
