Macromedia Financial Results

Macromedia reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2004 Financial Results.

Interesting stuff. Macromedia continues to tie its future to the success of the Flash player as a ubiquitous technology. This means that the company has to do whatever it takes to ensure the Flash player reaches a distribution level that makes developers and clients feel confident enoguh to adopt Flash 6. Then again, as I told somebody attending FlashForward, when the current latest version of the player reaches that level of presence, we will be probably discussing version 7; I hope I’m wrong. macromedia is doing its part by consolidating alliances with media distributors and communications providers.

Furthermore, it seems like Breeze and Breeze Live could have a bright future. Great amounts of presentations (Powerpoint presentations?) have been ported into the Breeze format, said Rob Burgess (CEO, Macromedia), affecting mainly the way companies provide training to their employees. There are more and more products developed with FlashComm, and since it is supporting Breeze Live, we should expect Rich Media Training applications after the product hits the market on August.
