I expect revenue in low 20s. If that happens, it will be an astounding increase over last quarter's record revenues of 17.1. I guessed 19. Here's hoping. So far, ODI has the best solution that I've seen, although it's certainly true that a lot of others are scrambling to get a piece of the pie. Please keep us updated on the XML story. I have a lot of "hands on" experience with ObjectStore, but none with XML/Excelon.

More $$$ to trickle down to ODIS's top line... Intuit Standardizes On Andromedia's Aria Enterprise® 3.0 For Realtime Web Site Analysis Intuit Buys Site License of ARIA to Track an Unlimited Number of Its Web Sites, Including www.Intuit.com and www.Quicken.com MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., - April 27, 1999 - Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU) a financial software and Web-based services company, today announced that the company is standardizing on Andromedia's ARIA® Enterprise 3.0 software for realtime Web site activity analysis and reporting. Intuit has been using Andromedia's ARIA to track its Quicken.com site (www.Quicken.com), Intuit's leading personal finance Web site, since August 1998. The success of that installation led Intuit to choose ARIA to track an unlimited number of Intuit's other Web sites, including the corporate Intuit site (www.Intuit.com) and to sign a long-term site license agreement with Andromedia. ARIA helps Intuit track virtually all of their online marketing campaigns. From newsletters to sweepstakes and banner advertising, timely reporting from ARIA enables Intuit marketers to measure the success of their promotions within a matter of hours or days after launch. As a result, Intuit can quickly apply this knowledge to the next promotion, creating more successful promotion campaigns. "We use a combination of ARIA reports, including most-requested pages, custom content reports and next-click analysis to help us understand aggregate traffic and customer behavior," said Karen Tomlinson, product marketing associate, Quicken.com. "This helps us in the development and design of new features." David Becker, a program manager for Quicken.com, adds, "ARIA helps us assess in realtime on an hourly basis how our site is performing. We are looking forward to expanding this capability to other Intuit Web sites." "Understanding the needs of our customers has always been an important aspect of our business," says Scott Cook, Intuit founder and chairman of the executive committee. "The knowledge that ARIA provides us with will allow us to deliver new Internet tools and services that are based on what the consumer is actually doing on the Web. We are enthusiastic about expanding our relationship with Andromedia." "Intuit is exactly the kind of customer that ARIA Enterprise 3.0 was designed for," says Steve Kanzler, Andromedia vice president of marketing. "The very high traffic levels, complex infrastructure and demanding reporting requirements were a severe test of ARIA's capabilities. And ARIA Enterprise passed with flying colors. We are very pleased that industry-leader Intuit has chosen our products and our company to meet Intuit's mission-critical requirement for powerful, flexible Web tracking and analysis software." About ARIA Enterprise 3.0 ARIA Enterprise 3.0's distributed architecture incorporates the power and intelligence to analyze visitor behavior across geographically dispersed, multi-server sites. ARIA Enterprise is currently installed at sites with traffic in excess of 150 million hits per day and is capable of tracking sites receiving more than 10 million page views per day and serving 10,000 unique pages of content to one million users. ARIA Enterprise automatically collects, synchronizes and analyzes data that span directories, servers, and domains, providing Web business managers with the realtime intelligence they need to effectively market their products online.
