Great Unknown Companies...And Why You Should Know Them

These up-and-comers are providing some valuable it products and services

L ooking for a data mart you can set up in less than a half-hour? Software that not only tells you what sort of IT equipment is running in your organization, but also which hardware and software you bought, rented, leased, and licensed? Or how about systems integration services that are affordable for less-than-giant companies?

Demand for these innovative products and services-and a whole lot more-is propelling the computer industry through another of its many growth spurts, fueled in part by a seemingly never-ending flow of venture capital and good old-fashioned optimism.

The companies profiled below are not well-known-yet. But all offer services and products that can bring organizations faster time to market, competitive advantage, and bigger sales and profits. Not bad for a gathering of unknowns.
