It certainly sounds like the Fortune 500 represent= a large market with the characteristics you describe. I would guess that = they are somewhat harder to reach and sell than energy firms that are activ= ely engaged in trading derivative products and do regard risk management as= core, whether the system is run internally or accessed as a service. I th= ink the company will have to learn more about what it takes to sell to both= customer segments as it gets started with its sales and marketing efforts,= and I'm not sure any of us know enough about the market at this point to h= ave a strongly held point of view. I would certainly be interested in any = information you have seen as to how the market will develop, and in particu= lar what the breakdown of people trading with Enron as between Fortune 500 = vs. energy industry players looks like. Thanks for your thoughts, and this= is clearly part of an ongoing dialogue with the company as to how to most = effectively design, market and sell its products.
