There are a few places -- like "market vision," which is more or less an essay question -- where what a vendor does in other markets might make a difference. So, for example, I've always been impressed by the potential for Autonomy to inform its BPM stuff with its intelligent analysis capabilities. Microsoft is treating Fast as a potential ingredient in a lot of technological recipes currently under development in Redmond. But yes, on balance, that's just right -- this is the Information Access Technology MQ, and that's where we isolate our focus. That’s fairly accurate.

When I read the MQ text, I gathered that the analysis is specific only for "find, collect and condense information or map its native location....". So when I look at the postion of Microsoft, Autonomy, OpenText, etc.. in the MQ, the position does not take into account "other" tools from that vendor like Portal, CM, Document Management, BPM and the rest.
