Karen, I think you are dead on. I was recently at a state level meeting with
a rep from GA Pines and saw a lot of interest from others at the meeting.
The Pines folks have had conversations with others from all over the world
and at that time, 19 different states. There is a great deal of interest in
the open ILS, and Evergreen in particular. A slow moving barge is probably a
good analogy, but if the development of the Evergreen product continues at
its current pace, I expect it to put a serious hurt on the other major ILS
vendors within less than 5 years.
