Well... Call It An Educated Guess... We know that during the CC there were plenty of hints that deals would be announced in Q4. And, we've witnessed in the past week or so, several opinions and initiated coverages from various investment houses. My two-week timeframe is just MY guess... but certainly within a month, we should see some deals being announced. Plus, and admittedly this could be seen as a very small thing, i2's Greg Brady just presented to Forrester Research's sold-out 'Real-Time Economy" show... at least, I THINK that was this week. Given the subject of the event, it would stand to reason that Brady was probably further popularizing the e-BPO and accelerated business processes and data velocity concepts. The Forrester gatherings, from experience, tend to be pretty high-powered and loaded with lots of influential participants and audience members. Factor in the recent hiring of a former i2 VP of Product Development, Steven Cole... and I just THINK we're building some momentum here. Again, this ALL could just be a bunch of happy horse hockey and tea-leaf forecasting... but... as hunches go... it isn't a wholly insubstantiated one. As always I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BE WRONG...
