If the data warehouse market does not continue to grow, or if our product offerings in this market are not accepted, we may not be able to sell our products or grow our business.

The data warehouse market may not continue to grow, or may not grow rapidly, and our customers may not expand their use of data warehouse products. In addition, we may not be able to market and sell our products and solutions in this market or otherwise compete effectively and generate significant revenue. Although demand for data warehouse software has grown in recent years, the market is still emerging. Our future financial performance in this area will depend to a large extent on:

	Continued growth in the number of organizations adopting data warehouses,
	Our success in developing partnering arrangements with developers of software tools and applications for the data warehouse market, and
	Existing customers expanding their use of data warehouses.

Recent organizational changes could disrupt our business operations and could adversely affect the sales of our products.

On October 1, 1999, we reorganized our operating business divisions into four new business groups: the TransAct Business Group, which is responsible for delivering on-line transaction processing products; the i.Foundation Business Group, which is responsible for delivering products that provide the technological foundation for Internet-based electronic commerce solutions; the i.Informix Business Group, which is responsible for delivering Internet-based solutions for electronic commerce; and the i.Intelligence Business Group, which is responsible for delivering Internetbased data warehouse products and solutions. We may not achieve the anticipated benefits of this reorganization. In addition, the reorganization could disrupt our current business operations, including our product development and sales efforts. Further, any such disruption or other operational difficulty encountered while implementing the organization could distract our management team and cause uncertainty and confusion among our customers.
