0812 - Discusison
0813 -
081301 - I explained my discussion with Mat and interest in a project to
081302 - create a Windows version of SDS, ref SDS 5 line 125. Gary mentioned
081303 - Lotus Notes.  He has competed against Lotus, and feels other
081304 - strategies have more chance of succcess. Gary said ISI's products are
081305 - aimed at the consumer market. I explained that SDS supports that
081306 - market.  It transcends Lotus Notes and all other existing products,
081307 - offering features no one else has created, but which are very
081308 - helpful, as seen by the PG&E evaluation, per ref DRP 1 line 25.
081309 -
081310 -     An example is MS Project.  Microsoft has now made sophisticated
081311 -     CPM software an off-the-shelf product at Egghead.  Primavera,
081312 -     Lucas Management and others are scrambling to catch up.
081313 -
081314 -     Being the first in the POIMS market can enable ISI to define the
081315 -     market.  Since no one else knows what features are needed, ISI
081316 -     can control it by releasing the feature set gradually as the
081317 -     market grows, instead of all at once.
081318 -
081319 -
081320 - Gary will discuss this with Mat.  He said Mat can do the initial
081321 - evaluation of an SDS demonstration.

082103 -
082104 - Mat said ISI is just now releasing a new version of Anytime.  This
082105 - should be complete by the 2nd week in April.  He suggested a
082106 - demonstration meeting for 950412 1100, with understanding that the
082107 - meeting can go from 1 - 2 hours through lunch, if needed.
