Spotfire Predicts World Cup Soccer Results
Spotfire, a business analytics software company, has not escaped World Cup fever that we are all currently enjoying, and it is has made its software (you need to download a Citrix client) avaialbe for predicting outcomes. Brazil, France, Germany and Mexico to reach the World Cup 2006 semifinals, according to its number crunching. (If Mexico plays the way it did on Friday night - it's not going to make it, we say.)
Spotfire's on-demand software is typically used by researchers inside pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and consumer goods organizations.
Spotfire's World Cup Freebie
The company is backed by European VCs and comes out of Sweden (it was co-founded by Christopher Ahlberg who is still CEO of the company). After moving to the US quite early in its development, it has had something like 16 quarters of year-over-year revenue growth.
We think it won't be long until Spotfire makes a move for an IPO on the NASDAQ, and we don't need its software to help with that prediction.
