131415 -          John does not mention having reviewed either the letter

131427 -     ..
131428 -     As I mentioned, it is possible that there will be relevant
131429 -     applications for SDS in some of the areas we discussed.  However,
131430 -     at the moment, I'm not in a position to help pursue those

131432 -

131439 -
131440 -
131441 -  ..
131442 - John concludes.....
131443 -
131444 -     I assume that the SDS software product development will be an
131445 -     on-going effort. At some point, it may be appropriate for me to
131446 -     explore the plans for deployment as a stand-alone app., or for
131447 -     integrating it with other COTS applications.  In the meantime, I
131448 -     will keep the technology in mind as a potential candidate for
131449 -     discussion with our clients.
131450 -
131451 -          SDS is a stand-alone application.
131452 -
131453 -             [On 010313 explain SDS is an operating system for people
131454 -             and organizations, commonly called Enterprise Management.
131455 -             ref SDS 11 QY4M
131456 -
131457 -          John is correct that development is on-going for discovering
131458 -          KM methods and functionality to improve efficiency and
131459 -          timeliness of handling daily working information.  An example
131460 -          of on-going development is the record on 010311. ref SDS 9
131461 -          0001
131462 -
131463 -          Would like to hear about John's ideas for integration with
131464 -          other COTS applications, i.e., what is COTS?
