I would not just limit it to UniVerse. Explain that the multidimensional market is a large market with a number of vendors providing competitive solutions. The multidimension database is largely sold encapsulated in an ISV product hence why it is not heard of a lot. However people will have had contact with a multiple dimensional product frequently. If you get spare parts for your car, your public library, a significant number of international banks, building societies, credit unions run on multidimensional systems. Many government departments, councils and Hospitals use multidimensional systems. If someone uses a Pokie machine in a club, the company that produced the machine is likely to be a user of a multidimensional system. There are a range of ERP, MRP systems using U2 around the world. A majority of University systems use U2.
I think that between Intersystems and IBM there are around 12 Million users around the world, but I cannot get my hand to the figures.
