| This excerpt from freerealtime.com board says it well enough: Emily will allow VCSY to build their own proprietary business-to-business(B2B) and business-to-commerce (B2C)hub using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) as the unifying language. VCSY is doing exactly the right thing by acquiring companies with technology like Emily(MLE). The XML standard allows computers to read web pages just as HTML formats pages for human readers. XML standard data structures will allow databases written in one human language to communicate directly with other human language dbases with established "translation" patterns. Thus databases in one country can identify and correlate information in foreign countries and translate that information into native human. Thus VCSY will not need or use central databases, but will link disparate data sources and present the information in the browser's own native format and language. Very very nice. I half expected an announcement of this sort later this summer - not so soon. The fact that VCSY is acquiring companies like this rather than developing their own software indicates they are moving fast and showing their disregard for the Microsoft Biztalk model. MLE runs on Linux - see previous posts for why this is important. I suspect this has been in the works for some time. Pulling off this "90 day product development" plan with Emily is ambitious - but if they can pull it off they will have a flexible international B2B hub. That alone would be worth the current stock valuation. See market cap and revenues on companies like WEBM and ITWO for comparison.
