Eyemine is a provider of analytic solutions for e-business, enabling companies the means to transform oceans of data into pools of knowledge.

Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Eyemine focuses on providing decision support services to B2B marketplace participants including marketplace operators, sellers, and buyers. Eyemine's CountOne solution enables B2B marketplace participants to measure and improve business performance on the Internet through real-time analysis of transactional and operational data.

From the outset, CountOne enables companies to implement data mining as a strategic business tool to effectively monetize their data as a proprietary asset.

CountOne provides B2B marketplace operators the infrastructure for real-time data collection, transmission, accumulation, analysis, and delivery to the B2B participant. CountOne is based on an application service provider (ASP) subscription model with additional customized data profiling and consulting services available for a fee.

For sellers and buyers, CountOne is geared towards "brick-and-mortar" firms in the initial stages of an Internet presence. CountOne allows sellers and buyers the ability to measure price and product fluctuations while forecasting optimal transaction trends and sales. Adoption of CountOne provides flexible and fast insight into the business cycle while also reducing costs associated with ownership and integration.

According to Gartner Group, in 2004 there will be 3,300 online dynamically priced B2B marketplaces globally, carrying a transaction volume of $800 billion (assuming that approximately one third of the 10,000 marketplaces will offer auctions/simple exchanges). Dynamic B2B marketplaces involve 660,000 corporate participants (assuming that each marketplace will sign up 200 non-overlapping set of participants). According to Forrester Research, the following three sectors lead the way in transactional and evolutionary maturity: semiconductors, electricity/natural gas, petrochemicals, and used construction equipment.

Many B2B companies are highly concerned with profitability and the barrage of information that accompanies success. These companies need continuous access to relevant market research focused on the purchasing trends of their clients. Most of these companies do not have the information to locate clients whose values are aligned with their operational practices. In short, companies still lack real-time market research on the consumer trends of the ever-growing online domestic and international audiences.

The rapid development of business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce is the most forceful trend of the Internet Age. According to the Gartner group, there exist close to 1,000 online B2B intermediaries in different industry verticals providing a platform for commerce and information sharing/exchange. By the year 2003, 10,000 B2B sites are expected to exist on the Internet. This means that many "brick-and-mortar" firms will have to embrace the dominant B2B marketplace of their vertical as their most important online shop-front.

However, the existing commerce infrastructure offered by online B2B marketplaces does not make this transition easy. The most important limitation in the existing commerce infrastructure (in its many incarnations) is the lack of an information delivery and analysis platform to the users of the B2B marketplaces.
