Xpedior™ Acquires Patent Pending Ebusiness Readiness Assessment Framework
Transaction Includes Other Assets of eBusiness Strategy Consultancy NewTHINK
CHICAGO, January 24, 2000 - Xpedior™ Incorporated (Nasdaq: XPDR), a leading provider of eBusiness solutions, today announced it has expanded its eBusiness strategy capabilities by acquiring the assets of NewTHINK, a privately held consultancy firm that provides eBusiness strategic planning tools and services. The acquisition further enhances Xpedior`s capabilities for helping its clients develop a robust eBusiness strategy. Through the integration of the NewTHINK processes and proprietary frameworks, Xpedior will significantly expand its eBusiness strategy activities. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

The acquisition includes the patent-pending eBusiness strategy framework, Enterprise eQ. This revolutionary approach is the first eBusiness planning tool to provide a quantitative and qualitative assessment of an enterprise`s readiness to compete in eBusiness. It provides a framework specifically focused on eBusiness competencies and a 139-point benchmark of specific skill areas that indicate enterprise readiness for eBusiness. The EeQ acts to galvanize corporate attention to the most effective eBusiness behaviors and forms the basis of innovative eBusiness strategies. Enterprise eQ will be incorporated into the Imagine Phase of the Xpedior Process, a five-phase process for designing, developing and bringing online innovative eBusiness solutions.

"A critical next-generation planning process component is an eBusiness readiness assessment that both defines and benchmarks current capabilities and also provides a roadmap for tactical and strategic initiatives," said Stan Lepeak, Vice President, Electronic Business Strategies, META Group, Inc. "Consultancies like Xpedior, with its NewTHINK acquisition, are positioned to help end users with eBusiness strategic planning and assessment efforts."

"The Enterprise eQ is a state-of-the-art tool for strategy development," said David Campbell, President and CEO of Xpedior. "Incorporating Enterprise eQ will allow us to greatly expand our ability to work with our customers through the full cycle of their eBusiness activities by helping them to focus on the key behaviors responsible for eBusiness success. This significant addition to our strategic capabilities will allow us to accelerate our aggressive growth expectations for this year and beyond."

"The acquisition of NewTHINK should prove to be a definitive asset in assisting their clients to be better prepared for implementation of their eBusiness strategy," said Karen Guenther, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions and ep@rtners for GTE Internetworking. "GTEI is pleased to partner with forward thinking companies like Xpedior who recognize the importance of developing robust eBusiness solutions."

In addition to the asset acquisition, Scott E. Semple, Founder and CEO of NewTHINK, has been named Xpedior`s Senior Vice President of eBusiness strategy. In this role, Semple will focus on further expanding the global Xpedior eBusiness strategy practice and integrating eBusiness strategy with solutions delivery. "Scott brings to us an extraordinary talent for helping businesses evaluate their e-strategies in ways that make the most sense to their overall business plans," said Campbell. "We will leverage his expertise in strategic thinking to guide our customers through the first steps in the development of their eBusiness solutions."

Semple will lead the visioning and development of innovative tools and techniques that assist clients in the rapid transition from Imagination to execution. Semple also provides executive briefings throughout the world to introduce new approaches to establishing dominance in the global digital e-conomy.

"This deal is a win-win for customers," said Semple. "The business of envisioning and implementing an eBusiness is incredibly fast paced. Xpedior has the scale to make the Enterprise eQ and our other tools available to businesses ranging from the Global 2000 to start-up dot coms."

Semple is a graduate of Cornell University and the Johns Hopkins Graduate Business School. He has served on the graduate school faculty of Johns Hopkins University, leading programs in management and technology in the Masters of Science in Business (MSB) program. Prior to founding NewTHINK, Inc., Semple was vice president of Network Computing for I-Net, an international systems integration firm, providing Enterprise Communications Solutions and Outsourcing partnerships.

27.01.2000
(aus Bloomberg News)

CEO David Campbell erklärt im "Bloomberg Forum",das man beabsichtigt
über 50 Mill.USD aus dem Börsengang, für die Einstellung von annähernd
1000 neuen Mitarbeitern verwenden will.Weiterhin sagt er ,plant man
aggressives Umsatzwachstum um den Marktanteil zu erhöhen.Und weiter:
"We`re going to have an interesting 2000 and 2001 and see which companies
are going to win market shares....This is a very early time in a very important
industry.Analysts and investors prefer extremely aggressive revenue growth with
higher-quality revenue to profit now."

Nun ich denke der Mann weiß,was Shareholder Value bedeutet.

Der Markt für E-business-servicefirmen wird in den nächsten 2-3 Jahren explodieren.
Schätzungen sprechen von verzehnfachung des Marktvolumens.Auftragswartelisten von
mehreren Monaten sind schon jetzt keine Seltenheit mehr.Wichtigster Hemmfaktor ist
qualifiziertes Personal zu finden und zu halten.(siehe IIXL).
XPDR ist meiner Meinung nach,aufgrund seiner Größe und Innovation gut positioniert
um ganz oben mitzuspielen, aber wird sich wie jede Firma beweisen müssen.
So das wars fürs erste .


PS:Ich hab ehrlich gesagt ziemlich Probleme mit den langen Ladezeiten beim W-O Board,
ich denke Wallstreet-online sollte auch mal eine gute E-service Firma konsultieren.

Best Regards

Steve

letzter Beitrag von mir in diesem Thread


Habe mal eine kleine Auswahl an Vergleichswerten aufgestellt,hinsichtlich
Größe,Marktkapitalisierung etc. Die zugrundeliegenden Daten,Kurse etc.stammen
aus unterschiedlichen Quellen:"Börse Online",Homepages der Firmen,Yahoo-finance,
"Stockmaster.com"und PR-Mitteilungen.Die Kurse sind Schlusskurse vom 25.1.bzw.27.1.
Ich hätte gerne "Icon Media Lab" mit reingenommen aber keine verlässlichen Daten
finden können.Die Umsatzdaten sind teilweise Schätzungen,da noch nicht alle Firmen
ihre Jahresabschlüsse gemeldet haben.Kurse in Euro bzw.USD(spielt ja kaum eine Rolle)

Hallo Leute!

Ich denke, daß Ihr einen sehr wichtigen Faktor zu XPDR vergessen habt: Sie wachsen vergleichsweise langsam (Umsatz)!
Durchschnittliche 13,5% von Quartal zu Quartal sind in diesem Sektor nicht gerade herausragend. Im Vergleich dazu: Commerce One 103%, Proxicom 31%, Netperceptions 49,2%, Rare Medium 91%, Breakaway 50,8% usw.
Das einzige, was meiner Meinung nach für XPDR spricht, ist die vergleichsweise billige Bewertung!
Aber ich kann Euch beruhigen: XPDR stehen trotzdem auf meiner Watchlist...

MfG, Arend

PSINet to buy Metamor for $1.9 bln in stock

HERNDON, Va., March 22 (Reuters) - Internet services provider PSINet Inc. <PSIX.O> said
on Wednesday it would buy business software and service company Metamor Worldwide Inc.
<MMWW.O> for $1.9 billion in stock.

The deal is expected to extend PSINet further into the growing business of providing electronic
commerce products and services

Metamor shareholders would get 0.9 PSINet share for each Metamor share -- worth nearly three
times Metamor`s $16 per share closing price on Tuesday and a 7 percent premium over its
52-week high of 41-5/8. PSINet closed Tuesday at 49-1/2.

As a result of the acquisition, PSINet would also assume control of Metamor`s electronic
commerce software affiliate Xpedior Inc. <XPDR.O>.

PSINet, which calls itself an Internet "super carrier," provides a variety of services ranging from
Internet access and Web hosting to operating a network of fiber and satellite facilities.

"E-Commerce is an important component of our Internet Super Carrier strategy," said William
Schrader, PSINet chairman and chief executive officer. "The acquisition ... furthers our plans to
move into the applications outsourcing arena and enables us to offer our customers everything they
need to do business on the Web."

The deal, which is to be completed by the middle of this year, is expected to be immediately
accretive to PSINet`s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

The deal is subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals.

applications to corporate and government customers. Xpedior expertise in developing and
