The big news at our company this week is receiving notice that U.S. Patent No. 7,395,191 will be issued on July 1, 2008, for the technology underlying SITEOPS. 

The news has created quite a bit of buzz already, including listing as a top story in the online editions Cadalyst and Site Prep. We are getting new sales calls as a result, and of course the patent represents an important strategic and competitive advantage for the long term.

So many people have worked long and hard to take SITEOPS from concept to reality. The patent announcement is just one more confirmation of what we hear increasingly from our users and clients--that this technology is unprecedented and industry-changing.
