that e commerce may perhaps be the
most important profit source on the internet is what keeps resounding in my head...taking a cue from ed and revisiting reiter as our key to
e commerce profitability led me to an old chriss elsass post...[ thanks, chris.]

e commerce as a primary focus, our video server deal and this:

Reiter has a program called netbadge that appears to be a candidate as a platform to build a document storage bank.

"
The real power of NetBadge is that it taps the power and speed of an Intranet. An Intranet web site has many advantages over a traditional client/server-based program. All of the system files and pages exist on a web/file server and are accessed via a standard web browser. To the end user these pages act like a program, but the system administrator does not have all the hassles and configuration difficulties associated with a client/server application.

An Intranet web-based application also has the advantage of speed and efficiency, less data needs to be sent across the network. Best of all, if you didn't previously have an Intranet you will have one with NetBadge, which you could also use for your company as a basis for tasks such as document imaging/sharing, e-mail, meeting notifications, scheduling, publications, etc.. You could also extend it to Internet access, with appropriate security precautions.

Every IPO I see these days say that the company has a history of losses, and there is no guarantee that they will ever be profitable, and most have only a few quarters of revenue. If the IPO has something to do with the Internet, it will sell out even with no history of revenue and no earnings.

Sad, but true.
