are on track to be deployed with these customers by
the end of the third quarter. I have been quite amazed
at the level of interest in this new service and see
it as an area of continued growth for us." "The addition
of the jCatalog Catalog Search Manager to our portfolio
of solutions now allows us to address all aspects of
catalog based procurement, from our hosted procurement
solutions to delivering content for behind the firewall
procurement solution and now we can support those organizations
with ERP's with an entirely outsourced content management

now mature and is ready for the mainstream, and this
coupled with the openness to out-source non-core processes
