first caught investors attention when it was Jot-It
Software and invented the electronic version of the
yellow sticky note. But the company did not rest on its laurels. It proceeded to re-invent itself as Sideware Systems, embracing the Java programming language and developing an innovative e-commerce program called Dr. Bean. The company saw something missing in contemporary e-commerce - the personal touch. Dr. Bean filled that niche with what it calls e-Customer Relations Management Technology (e-CRMT). The software creates an interface that allows online customers to get assistance from real live sales personnel in real time. With the release of Version 2.0 in June and strategic alliances with Sun Microsystems, IBM, Oracle and AT&T, the company began to be recognized. Perhaps the biggest deal was the one with IBM in October 1999 which bundles Dr. Bean with IBM S/390 Multiprise 3000 servers as part of IBM's Enterprise Growth Offering. Vigorous expansion plans call for the company to open offices in 17 North American cities by the end of 2000. The company increased investor exposure when it began trading on the OTC BB on Nov. 4th as SDWSF. It also trades on the Canadian Venture Exchange as SYD.U Shares Outstanding: 47,466,695
