I think vantive got through the quarter, but i'm hearing strange things out there. The comparisons don't get easy until june. but i also think Vantive is coming off of a strategic mistake, trying to out sfa sebl. It takes time to correct those mistakes, perhaps as much as 18 months.

But, the market is growing, and i see evidence that folks like SAP are stumbling in their front office efforts. Vantive could also be a reasonable takeover candidate.

i would prefer to wait a little while.
