Plus the question is - how are they going to turn this extra liquidity into revenue when they are competing with some very big players? 115 million is way too small for an IPO in this space.

Deutsche Bank AND UBS being involved means placement of a lot of the IPO will be European brokers with U.S. presence. Due to the strength of the Euro and the falling US dollar, It wouldn't surprise me if it hasn't already been oversubscribed. European banks do a better job of securing indications of interest before they ever get involved in any IPO. Their IPO will be a success but probably priced in their lower range, whatever that may be. They have had a lot of success in Europe from what I know. Deutsche Bank

They are making a profit so they are not cash strapped. I think they must believe that unless they raise a significant sum of money and innovate that they will become obsolete within the next 1-2 years. If they are anticipating pressure then Eyewonder, and Interpolls (both private companies as well) would do well to start cutting some deals or at least consolodate in order to compete.

Seems like a small amount of rev/profit to be going public on. Haven’t actually read their S1, what are they planning on doing with the money?

Competition is great for business and the end user. I remember when IBM was the only game in town, then came along Dell, Gateway, Compaq, now HP. With Lehman and Deutsche on board it must be a decent offering and hopefully big plans for total world domination or at least provide new innovation and steal some marketshare. Boo Googleclick!

That is unless they've got something really innovative up their sleeves that they are planning to spend that $115M on.

They are making a profit so that bodes well.
