SciQuest, Inc. (NASDAQ:SQI)

This company seems to be on path to be next Ariba

Increasingly Excessive P/E

Product (on-demand software to enhance, automate, & simplify procure to pay processes) well positioned, particularly with economy putting greater emphasis on cost cutting--supply expense one of the greatest areas for non-labor savings.

Consistent revenue model from software as a service with long contracts; good backlog of new business / clients. Ascension Health could be huge win in healthcare space and key for significant growth in this vertical.

Strong management team with clear direction; high customer satisfaction / retention.

Comparatively low valuation based on earnings & growth potential.

Would like to see greater earnings consistency and elimination of large, non-recurring expense items (management bonus for IPO, legal settlement, tax, etc) but expect this will come with maturity & experience with public reporting.

Self-described as "Empowering.". All it takes it is a liberal use of periods to win me over ;-D
