Metastorm Positioned in Leaders Quadrant in 2010 EA Tools Magic Quadrant
BALTIMORE, MD – November 4, 2010 – Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Analysis (BPA), and Enterprise Architecture (EA) software for aligning strategy with execution, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant of the most recent Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools1, published October 28, 2010 by Gartner, Inc.
The report evaluates vendor solutions on how well they support EA teams in everyday activities such as modeling, future-state analysis, road mapping, dashboard analysis and scenario planning that impact these stakeholders.
“Enterprise architects must integrate, analyze and communicate structured and unstructured information about a wide range of subjects (technology, solutions, interfaces, information and data, business processes, organization structure, and strategy),” states the Gartner EA Tools report. “While many teams start off using drawing tools, spreadsheets, and other office productivity and content management tools to document and share their EA, this approach becomes extremely difficult once artifacts appear in multiple places. Adoption of an EA tool addresses this issue of keeping all changes in sync by providing a single repository that enables the changes to be reflected in the entire architecture across all viewpoints.”
Metastorm ProVision® provides a powerful suite for enterprise and business architecture, process discovery and business process analysis. Key resources – goals, technology, organization, data, finances, processes, products, suppliers, etc. – and inter-dependencies can be modeled and shared for both current and future planning and improvements. Integrated BPA capabilities also enables business processes to be modeled, simulated and optimized to take full advantage of available business resources across the entire enterprise. Process discovery capabilities allow accurate data to be collected about current processes to ensure valid models and simulation assumptions.
Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. Complementing its position in this report, Metastorm was also recently placed in the Leaders quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites (BPMS)2, published October 18, 2010, and the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools3 published February 22, 2010.
Metastorm ProVision integrates seamlessly with the Metastorm Enterprise software portfolio, which combines best-of-breed EA, BPA, and BPM capabilities on a common, integrated framework, to deliver the industry’s most powerful platform for aligning strategy, analysis and execution across all levels of the organization. Further augmenting Metastorm’s leading EA, BPA and BPM solutions, the Metastorm Business Transformation Practices Framework leverages the entire Metastorm software portfolio and industry templates to provide organizations with a successful methodology for managing change and achieving successful, ongoing transformation to meet key strategic and operational objectives.
“We view our position in the Leaders quadrant in three Gartner Magic Quadrants as confirmation of our ability to deliver effective solutions that enable organizations to translate vision and strategy into operative change that ultimately drives business outcomes,” stated Robert Farrell, chairman and CEO of Metastorm. “Metastorm remains committed to innovating and delivering market-leading software that enables our customers to align strategy with business execution in a meaningful, results-oriented way.”

BALTIMORE, MD – October 21, 2010 – Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Analysis (BPA), and Enterprise Architecture (EA) software for aligning strategy with execution, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites1 (BPMS), published October 18, 2010 by Gartner, Inc.
Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. Metastorm has also recently been placed in the Leaders quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools2, published February 22, 2010, and the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools3 published November 12, 2009.
“Over the years that we have tracked this market, one of the biggest changes has been the increase in the number of buyers looking to support continuous process improvement, and to drive business transformation with BPM,” states the Gartner BPMS report. “The position of a vendor in the 2010 BPMS Magic Quadrant directly relates to its ability to support the top four usage scenarios that drive buyers to invest in a BPMS, and to the vendor's support for characteristics of the BPMS "sweet spot," as defined by Gartner.”
Metastorm is known for its ability to provide a comprehensive and highly-proven BPMS solution that allows organizations to quickly implement, manage, monitor, and analyze core business processes. In addition, the Metastorm BPM® suite’s seamless integration as part of the Metastorm Enterprise platform—which includes the Metastorm ProVision® software for EA and BPA—enables effective alignment of process execution activities with business goals at all levels of the organization. The Metastorm Business Transformation Practices Framework leverages the entire Metastorm software portfolio and industry templates to provide organizations with a successful methodology for managing change and achieving successful, ongoing transformation to meet key strategic and operational objectives.
Customer success with the software is a key strength and differentiator for Metastorm. Organizations such as AmerisourceBergen, Blue Rhino, City of Richmond, Virginia, Great Clips, Linklaters, London Underground, Lufthansa, the U.S. Air Force, and the U.S. Department of Justice, all use Metastorm’s software to model, automate and improve critical business processes – with BPM projects often evolving into an enterprise-wide focus on business process excellence. Over 130 documented success stories and video testimonials are featured on the Metastorm website.
“We are proud of our positioning in Gartner’s Magic Quadrants, and we believe these independent reports confirm the unique breadth and depth of Metastorm’s solutions,” said Robert Farrell, chairman & CEO of Metastorm. “Our customers are continuously seeking to optimize their resources, improve productivity and reduce costs, and Metastorm is committed to delivering the software, services and innovation necessary to support them."

StarCite and MeetingsIn Announce Partnership to Power Global Online Meetings Channel
On Tuesday November 9, 2010, 5:00 am EST
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- StarCite, Inc. and MeetingsIn today announced a partnership in which StarCite’s eRFP technology will be available to meeting planners using www.MeetingsIn.com. As a result, MeetingsIn customers, mostly booking small meetings, will have access to an extensive supplier database and leading supplier “search, compare and eRFP” solutions. Hotels and meetings facilities will be able to increase visibility to meetings buyers as MeetingsIn powers sites in various markets around the world.
MeetingsIn will also help introduce StarCite’s enterprise meetings management platform to international organizations that are ready to expand to a strategic meetings management program. StarCite is the leading provider of Web-based solutions to strategically manage corporate meetings and events. MeetingsIn is an international global online leader providing connections between participating suppliers and independent meeting planners and is a public channel enabling search for meetings venues.
“MeetingsIn has a strong foothold and valuable experience in the area of international group business. Hotels that increase their visibility by participating in the StarCite Global Online Marketplace and MeetingsIn have the opportunity to benefit through increased sales leads, bookings and revenue,” said David O’Donohoe, Senior Vice President, Global Supplier Sales and Operations, StarCite. “Suppliers who subscribe to enhanced content on StarCite and MeetingsIn have an increased opportunity to drive business on a global basis.
“MeetingsIn has a well-established and growing network of international buyers that are moving toward adoption of strategic meetings management programs,” O’Donohoe added. “StarCite has experienced high velocity growth in the global corporate market. This partnership has the potential to further accelerate the deployment of StarCite technology worldwide.”
Ian Quartermaine, Founder and CEO of MeetingsIn said, “The small meetings market represents a significant opportunity. Those that book small meetings are often not full-time meeting planners and are less familiar with online sourcing tools such as StarCite’s world-class meetings management solutions which enjoy widespread adoption in the corporate and supplier world.”
He added, “By partnering with StarCite, we can now provide these meeting buyers with a similar search and compare RFP functionality used by corporate meeting planners. Our global ‘Search. Book. Meet’ strategy is helping buyers easily generate and manage small meetings and provides meetings facilities with sales leads and a direct channel to a valuable source of business. We will be offering venues the opportunity to increase their visibility by listing their facilities with rich media content and a variety of special offers and promotions.”
StarCite and MeetingsIn plan to launch the new connectivity early in 2011.

Bei einem Umsatz von ca. 100 Millionen in 2010, einem Wachstum zwischen 25% und 30% und relativen hohen Markteintrittschancen wegen vorhandener Netzeffekte dürfte der weltweit größte Pure Play im Bereich des Procurement Outsourcing ungefähr einen Wert von einer halben Milliarde Dollar haben.
Internet Capital hält hier 80%, sodass die momentane Marktkapitaliiserung schon fast alleine dadurch dargestellt werden.
http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2010/11/18/...eady-to-roar.aspx
Obwohl natürlich Internet Capital jetzt eher etwas für konserative Investoren ist, denn von meinem vor mehr als zwei Jahren angegeben Ziel von 700 Millionen, ist man logischerweise bei einer Marktkapitalisierung von nahezu 450 Millionen näher an dieser Zielmarke dran als bei Werten zwischen 150 und 200 Millionen, wobei natürlich diese 700 Millionen noch nicht das Ende der Fahnenstange sind.
Für eher konserative Investoren auch, weil Internet Capital inzwischen fast zu 100% mit Eigenkapital arbeitet. Für die Schwankungen sorgen daher meines Erachtens Shortseller, die das immer noch nicht kapiert haben, dass normalerweise ein mit fast 100% Eigenkapital arbeitendes Unternehmen einerseits weniger Risiken ausgesetzt ist, aber dafür auch Entwicklungen nach unten und oben nicht mehr hebelt - was nicht unbedingt der Wunsch von Zockern ist, denen ich seit dem Übergang zu einer fast 100igen Eigenkapitalfinanzierung schon immer geraten habe, ihr Geld lieber mit anderen Aktien zu verzocken.

Auch wenn das eine schwere Geburt war und der eine oder andere Kurzfristzocker nicht zufrieden ist - aber die habe ich immer gewarnt, dass sie gefälligst ihre Finger von dem Wert lassen sollen und lieber ihr wenigen Kohlen woanders vergeigen sollten.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/...he-twst-4148227015.html?x=0&.v=1
Ich bin nachwievor der Anischt, dass wir die 700 Millionen Euro erreichen werden, allerdings nicht in dem Höllentempo wie in den letzten Wochen. Welche Strategien jetzt jemand fährt, hängt logischerweise auch von seinem jetztigen Depotanteil ab. Bei mir hatte z.B. Internet Capital inzwischen einen so großen Depotanteil gewonnen, dass ich ich kleinere Abrundungsverkäufe getätigt habe und eigentlich immer noch auf Beständen sitze, die unter rationalen Diversifikationsaspekten beim momentanen Kurs eigentlich zu hoch sind, aber ich kann Kursgewinne wegen des Anschaffungstermins steuerfrei kassieren. Derartige Überlegungen werden vermutlich auch alle anstellen, die z.B. mit größeren Stückzahlen vor ca. zwei Jahren rein sind und heute auf dem dreifachen Wert sitzen.
Für alle mit kleinen Beständen und nicht in der Aktie engagierte bietet die Aktie aber weiterhin gute Chancen, da ich davon ausgehe, dass allein schon die 80% an ICGCommerce und die Kasse/Wertpapiere die momentane Marktkapitalisierung abdecken und man die anderen 10 der 11 Beteiligungen, die nicht an der Börse notiert werden, quasi umsonst bekommt. Aber wie bei vielen Beteiligungsgesellschaften benötigt man Sitzfleisch, bis sich die Werte der Beteiligungen z.B. in Börsengängen oder bei Verkäufen stärker manifestieren. Auch wenn mir jetzt einzelne Zocker sicher widersprechen, die Glück hatten, ist die Aktie meines Erachtens nicht für Zocker geeignet - die fliegen immer noch auf die Aktie, aber das Unternehmen arbeitet schon seit jetzt über 5 Jahren ohne Fremdkapitalhebel und daher eher etwas für konserative Investoren mit viel Zeit.
Schönen Sonntag.
Schwieriger ist es bei den meisten anderen Beteiligungen, z.B. bei Starcite, das in einer Nische der haushohe Marktführer ist, sodass nur Vergleiche mit Individualreiseportals bleiben. Immerhin schält sich dabei m.E. zumindest heraus, dass die 36% an Starcite mindestens 100 Millionen wert sind:

Aber schon Bob Dylan wusste: "The times they are changing." So ist das auch mit den Aussichten von Internet Capital, sodass ich das Ziel von 700 Millionen auf eine Marktkapitalisierung von einer Milliarde anhebe. Das geht nicht wie von der Schnur gezogen, aber wenn man den Depotanteil unter 3% hält, was ich momentan auch nicht einhalte, weil sich sonst wegen der Kurssteigerungen massiv verkaufen müsste, ist auch das Risiko in Grenzen.
Internet Capital hält 26% an Seapass.
