Finally Google starts
to correct Microsoft miserable internal files search
tool, and the result is great ! An easy to install, easy
to use, extremely rapid internal search engine that
provides amazingly pertinent results.
Pro: accuracy of the results, speed, usability
(for both installing the software and using it). No advertising.
Cross-linking desktop results with web search results. Email
search enabled.
Cons: maybe some issues with privacy (look discussion
group on the web), long “one time” indexing
(6 hours to index more than 130 thousand files), zip
and pdf files not yet indexed in the beta version (but
they say they are working on it).

According to a study from the
Prognos institute based in Basel, Switzerland, the key element
to survive on the net is under other "ease of use",
which confirms, one more time, what we are saying since more
than 2 years.
It is also interesting to note in this article published on
the site of the Swiss television, that the one company, which
survived the last two years, will remain on the market, something
confirmed by our revenues forecast. And this, even if Q1 2003
was "difficult" in terms of revenues. More on tsr.ch. |

A new happy client... click

C2SP wish you a very happy
new year 2003 !
2002 was an excellent year since our revenue was increased by
100 %. We hope, with our partners, to reach the same level of
growth this year. We also wish to take the opportunity to thank
our clients for their renewed trust showed to us in the last
quarter... |
2002 |

Speechless: new
service (ecommerce usability) and new
clients statements !
|
| [30.10.2002] |
We still believe we will achieve
our forecasted revenue growth of 100%, thus moving from a 5
to a 6-digit turnover.
We have also modified our list of services that you can consult
here. |
| [04.09.2002] |
Good news: we are celebrating
our second year of existence, despite the quite bad "climate"
in the industry. Moreover, the forecast for the end of the year
looks promising with a nice 100% growth in revenue compared
to 2001.
This is due on one side to our solid network of partners
but also to the renewed trust (and deals) from our
customers. We take this opportunity to thank them. |
| [29.07.2002] |
Two more clients speaking about
their experiences with C2SP. See the customers'
credits section. |
| [19.04.2002] |
As of today C2SP's contracts
for 2002 (some of them will be spread across the year) already
exceed last year's revenue! This result proves companies'
interest and trust in C2SP solving usability / information related
problems, albeit poor market conditions. After 18 months of
activity, relevant thought processes based on solid partnership
and systematic approach have proven their efficiency. |
