They are winning sites and I believe they are in the middle of converting 2 UniVerse VARS in Australia & 1 in South Africa that I have heard of. They are also making a number of wins against Sybase, Oracle sites and probably DB2 as they have shown considerable performance figures. They also have just released an EAI tool which is picking up new business.
Their market currently is smaller than the PICK market, but whilst the PICK vendors sit on their laurels this will change. What is more important is that they not only market, but they have differentiated their product and are selling why multi-dimensional is better. The PICK vendors have not got their act together on this one yet. If I am a new VAR why would I go with PICK?, at least Cache would tell me why I should go with them.

But I'd be very curious how their market compares to the U2 market. There are other MUMPs implementations, but not as many as PICK. I don't know if they are "bigger" than U2 -- any guesses? I have no clue whether their marketing strategy is working to grow them significantly beyond their initial MUMPs base, but I'm definitely curious. In preparing the agenda for the Sept 19 meeting of the U2UG in Las Vegas (to which everyone is invited!) we are planning to have significant discussions about the topic of marketing U2 and the underlying database. Even if IBM does not do that type of marketing, potentially the U2UG could do some marketing in the future. Just a thought -- all ideas are welcome. Cheers! --dawn Dawn M.
