I think that any Y2K money coming TPI's way will be a miracle. I do not believe that they have spent any sales effort's in this regard outside of the building assessment accounts that they announced last Oct. I would agree that Groupware including CRM will be an enormous opportunity for TPI, lets hope they have their sales and marketing folks focused. I disagree about migration. TPI's only products to date appear to be addressing the AS/400 to open systems market and I believe virtually all of that business will be replacement technology. Nobody including Unibol and IBM have been able to make migration products work. If TPI is successful with ICI/ADP, then they should be able to achieve serious revenue growth. They have tried this with smaller projects, NCEMS and others without success however. I hope that if TPI is serious about migration as an exit strategy to Y2K that they have been using this quiet period to develop new migration tools for non-AS/400 / S36 platforms. I am still holding some shares in naive hope.
