| What is MultiValue? |
|
MultiValue is a designation and a symbol
given to the world’s most widely used and experienced business software solutions.
NO matter how specialized your computer needs are, there is a MultiValue software
solutions that exactly matches your computing requirements. At nearly $3 billion
annually, MultiValue is one of today’s fastest growing segments of the business
software solution market.
Often referred to by insiders as the computer industry’s “best kept secret”, businesses
and institutions frequently are hesitant to disclose the fact that they use a MultiValue
solution since it is often at the core of their competitive edge. This is
because MultiValue software is designed by business experts familiar with the most
efficient way to handle the data processing needed by their specific industry and
therefore costs less to maintain and operate than generic solutions. And because
MultiValue business software is portable across all computer hardware and major
operating systems.

companies in the MultiValue market. These companies were categorized as either
a VAR, Software House, or Independent Consulting firm.
The survey revealed that the average MultiValue VAR generates $4.71 million revenue
in the market annually. The average MultiValue Software House reported $2.04
million annual revenue and the average MultiValue Consultant generates $187K annually.
Those doing the best are those who know both the web and legacy MultiValue applications.

| Gaining a consumer image… |

To gain a consumer image commensurate
with the true collective market size of these database environments, International
Spectrum spearheaded a drive in January 1996 to encourage the core providers, VARs,
and end users in the market to refer to and label their products and systems as
belonging to a common family of products through the user of a “Dolby Surround”-like
symbol. With the assistance of a special Technical Advisory Board, the term
“MultiValue” was deemed to have both technical and marketing significance and the
MultiValue symbol was adopted.
