As part of a series of exciting announcements this week, we officially unveiled our DoubleClick Revenue Center positioning which highlights how our suite of publisher solutions can be used to help our clients generate revenue and reduce operational friction. The DoubleClick Revenue Center includes the DART platform at its core and can be expanded to include optimization, support for rich media, workflow tools, and a dynamic advertising exchange. As part of this announcement we highlighted some significant improvements to some of the Revenue Center's core components.

First, we profiled an expanded set of features for our DART Sales Manager (DSM) workflow and finance management tool that further reinforce DSM's position as a powerful "quote to cash" solution for media sellers of all sizes. We also announced Historical Basis forecasting capabilities for our DART for Publishers (DFP) ad serving platform which will help our publisher clients to better manage and monetize seasonal and repeating traffic patterns and account for recent traffic fluctuations. The innovative DART for Publishers Dashboard also entered full production with an expanded catalog of widgets that will further enhance campaign visibility for our DFP clients.

Moving further into 2008, we expect that audience fragmentation will become an increasing challenge for many of our publisher clients. To that end we made an announcement earlier this week regarding the formation of a team dedicated to providing the technology and services to address this issue. The group's initial solution, which we plan to launch in the second half of 2008, will provide a new partner management platform for publishers. This new product will combine tools for network management and financial reporting and a full-featured portal for partner sites. Most exciting for our publisher clients is the fact that we will offer seamless integration with our existing DART ad serving platform. ClickZ ran a great article on Monday highlighting this new initiative.

We are pleased to announce that several major enhancements were rolled out on our DART for Publishers (DFP) platform this past weekend in conjunction with our Winter Release. These included several important tools to help our publisher clients increase efficiency and visibility and drive revenue. Our new Historical Basis forecasting feature will provide a greater level of forecasting flexibility and accuracy by allowing our publisher clients to use up to 15 months of historical data in their forecasts. The popular DFP Dashboard, first announced in fourth quarter, also entered general availability. To help our publishers ensure worry-free ad delivery, we also proactively introduced tools to help combat the recent rise in malware-infected creatives.

On Monday, we made an official announcement regarding the availability of the DART for Publishers (DFP) Dashboard. This new interface leverages the latest Web 2.0 technology to provide greater visibility and flexibility for publishers in managing their advertising operations. The DFP Dashboard is fully integrated with the DART for Publishers platform and is included at no additional cost to all existing DFP users.
