You Never Know Where We'll Show Up

Post by Tami »

So...I was doing a search trying to find out financial information on Invision Power Services (because I decided to try a rough licensing income estimate on how much they must make per year...very big number, scary)...and this is the search result I came up with.

Note this is the first page of results for that search term - so the top 8 of 298 000 results.

If there's anything like here in the UK, you should be able to access their company accounts?

I don't know how the laws work there. Access to financials might only be possible if it's a publicly traded company, which I don't think it is - but even going on just a rough estimate, the numbers are huge.

I did a search for "Powered by Invision Board" which resulted in something like 2.9 million hits or something frightening large. Multiply that just by the yearly support licence and the numbers are huge. Then there's the full, new license purchases, plus licenses for their other products. Staggering numbers. And that's all allowing for an error margin of quite a bit, too. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... /blink.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':blink:\' />
