Article for Matrixone Inc (NASDAQ NM:MONE) 7:10 AM IBM and MatrixOne Sign Global Strategic Alliance to Provide Collaborative Product Commerce Solutions WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 2002 7:10 AM - BusinessWire ARMONK, N.Y. and WESTFORD, Mass., Jan 23, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- IBM (IBM) and MatrixOne, Inc. (MONE) today announced a global strategic alliance to deliver and market advanced Collaborative Product Commerce (CPC) solutions. The companies will initially target the consumer packaged goods and life sciences industries with solutions that speed the most competitive products to market at reduced costs. The joint solutions, leveraging MatrixOne's CPC applications and IBM's e-business infrastructure technology and services, will address industry specific requirements at stages of a product's lifecycle. From concept and design to manufacturing and ongoing services, these solutions will enable customers to address critical time-to-market and cost issues involved in product innovation and development. "The IBM and MatrixOne alliance is further evidence that product lifecycle management solutions have emerged as a critical component of innovative companies' business strategies," said Kevin O'Marah, Research Principal, Supply Chain Strategies for AMR Research. "The significance of this partnership is that it brings together a product collaboration technology from MatrixOne that has many loyal users in the field with a powerful sales and delivery capability in IBM." MatrixOne has a strong focus on CPC solutions that accelerate development and reduce costs at various stages of product lifecycle management (PLM). These solutions unify the efforts of a company's development, procurement and production teams through access to improved product data, design collaboration, process management and decision-making tools. Under the terms of the agreement, IBM Global Services will provide consulting, customization and integration services. The two companies will develop and market MatrixOne's eMatrix(1) collaboration platform on IBM hardware, software and middleware, including: IBM eServer(2) pSeries(3) UNIX systems; the IBM DB2 Universal Database(4) and the WebSphere infrastructure software platform, including WebSphere(4) Application Server and the WebSphere MQ family. "Delivering new products on-time and on-budget are among the major challenges companies face," said Murray Mitchell, vice president of IBM Global Services' Buy & Supply consulting practice. "We look forward to working with MatrixOne, a recognized leader in the Collaborative Product Commerce market, to offer customers significant opportunities to improve revenues and reduce costs through advanced product collaboration, strategic sourcing and program management solutions." "Global corporations are recognizing the business value of Collaborative Product Commerce solutions to increase the innovation, speed and effectiveness of bringing products to market," said Mark O'Connell, president and CEO of MatrixOne. "Our customers have a long history of realizing the benefits of product collaboration to improve financial performance. MatrixOne's technology and expertise integrated with IBM's commitment to leadership in each of these targeted industries creates a tremendous opportunity for both companies to expand those benefits to a broader set of customers." The MatrixOne strategic alliance is another example of IBM's commitment to go-to-market with leading independent software vendors through the PartnerWorld for Developers program (www.developer.ibm.com). Under this initiative, IBM has signed agreements with recognized software leaders. These alliances target industries such as financial services, retail, and manufacturing, and solution segments including enterprise resource planning, supply chain management, customer relationship management and business intelligence. The goal is to provide developers with access to new customers and revenue opportunities through IBM's marketing, sales, and solutions resources. In return, developers commit to lead with IBM's middleware, server platforms, and services. Gruß Dr. Broemme

Schlusskurs am 6.11.2001 war übrigens 7$. An der 15$ wird jetzt aber wohl erst mal Schluss sein. Leider hatte es auch diese Aktie nicht von der Watchlist ins Depot geschafft - schade eigentlich! Gruß Dr. Broemme

ThinkEquity Partners Initiates Coverage on MatrixOne THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2001 12:01 PM - PRNewswire ThinkEquity Partners Initiates Coverage on MatrixOne 12/13/2001 12:01:00 PM SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 13, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- ThinkEquity Partners today initiated coverage on MatrixOne, Inc. (MONE) . The Research Note, issued today by Mark Verbeck, Senior Analyst covering enterprise software with ThinkEquity Partners, rates the stock a STRONG BUY with a $15 price target. The following are key highlights included in the Research Note: "-- We are initiating coverage of MatrixOne, Inc. We rate the company's shares a STRONG BUY. Based on our discounted P/E analysis, our 12-month price target is $15 per share, which is an enterprise value 5x our NTM revenue estimate of $115 million. "-- MatrixOne is a leading provider in the still nascent market for collaborative business applications. "-- We have concluded that last quarter's results were an anomaly rather than a problem with the fundamentals. Our numerous conversations with systems integrators, current customers and prospects lead us to expect a rebound well beyond current consensus estimates. "-- MatrixOne has yet to significantly diversify its sales process from its core product design roots, but as it expands its portfolio of applications, we expect this diversification to occur. We believe this will increase the company's addressable market and insulate it from manufacturing sector economic cycles. "-- We believe the next quarter Q2FY02 (Dec) will suffer from the steps the company has taken to address the execution issues of last quarter, but that given the market sentiment on the company's products, license revenues will quickly rebound to the previous $80+ million run rate."
