from the current Upside: "The self-proclaimed inventor of the application service provider (ASP) market, USinternetworking has thus far overpromised and underdelivered. If it doesn't get its act together -- and quickly -- it could tar the whole ASP sector. Two big questions for 2000: Will ASPs be as big as their hype, and will USinternetworking still be around at year-end? Big bucks invested in both questions argue that the answer is probably yes, but the outcome remains questionable." |

I found this on the Briefing site today: As with many recent Internet IPOs, USIX is well off its post-IPO high of 60, but market volatility aside, the fundamentals for this company remain strong. USIX will report Q2 earnings after the close today, with consensus estimates of -0.40 from both First Call and Zacks. Q1 revenues were $4.4 mln, and a healthy sequential increase should be expected. USIX is an Application Service Provider, or ASP, one of the hottest areas of the internet at present. The company set out to offer internet ecommerce outsourcing solutions via a network of enterprise data centers, and continues to do quite well in that business. USIX has since expanded its focus to include ASP services - offering enterprise software applications to businesses over the internet. This business is expected to boom in coming years as businesses will avoid the costs of owning and managing enterprise software. USIX is also developing key strategic relationships, including a Q1 deal with Siebel Systems and a partnership with USWest in which USW acquired an equity stake in USIX last year. With USW acquirer Qwest also getting into the ASP business, it will be interesting to see how a potential QWST/USIX relationship develops, as Qwest will end up with a stake in USIX courtesy of its USW acquisition. The ASP business is still in its infancy, but USIX is well positioned to be a major player. Look for the company to report solid numbers this afternoon, and while all Internet stocks might be hurt in the short run by the threat of another Fed rate hike, this is one that has an encouraging future. |

Forbes picked USIX's co-founder as one of a dozen internet revolutionaries in its latest issue. Here's what they said: CHRISTOPHER MCCLEARY, 46, stepped into the Net in 1996 when he joined Digex, an early Internet service provider near Washington, D.C. Back then the Net was a novelty. Digex, like many isps, had a simple business plan: Hook people up and charge them for it. Three years later the technology has grown up. So, too, should Net businesses, McCleary says. "We have to go to the next level up." The business shouldn't be focused simply on selling some high-tech widget; it should be about making things work. That ethos defines the firm he cofounded, USinternetworking in Annapolis, Md. "Here was our thesis: Forget how any business model operates today. Let's ask instead, 'What would our customer most desire?'" says McCleary, the firm's chairman. USinternetworking gets a flat fee for running a client's in-house software, but only when the system functions well. It guarantees the systems will stay up and running; fixing any glitches comes at no extra cost. That is a sharp departure from the on-line world's nascent days. It grew up mirroring the classic division of responsibility in the software world: One company made and sold the program, another (typically a consulting firm) set up the system, billing by the hour. Neither got paid more for making the stuff work. McCleary sees riches in filling that gap, but it hasn't been easy to convince Wall Street of this. Now, investors reward companies for booking sales of hot wares, not for investing to ensure that everything will work. But they will change. "We are a technology enabler rather than a technology innovator," McCleary says. |
