- Keep. [1] [2] [3] Several claims it is a, or the, leading company in this area, and if you look at the page history you'll find out that there was a section called "Competitors", some of which are notable in en-WP. So if the followers are notable, surely the leader is. There is a lot more coverage on it, I gave up after 40 of 16600 GHits. Mostly blogs and own PR, but there are a few independent links in between, like the one from Oracle. Putting the article here after its context (i.e., the competition) has been deleted seems not right to me.

- Strong keep - did anyone even bother to try and find sources? There are a whopping 389 GNews hits for this company: [4]. A good portion are press releases, but there are still dozens and dozens of good sources.. In depth coverage by Washington Post, Forbes, & Infoworld, & Computer World (among many others) indicates notability.
- The company is a pioneer in mashup/AJAX, has some very significant clients (like the U.S. Department of Defense), and has won awards. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
