Chief Architect At Austin Price Optimization Firm Zilliant
Zilliant frontman is Chairman & CEO Greg Peters, who previously ran the seminal Web software bright light Vignette, where he was responsible for both its spectacular bubble days IPO and its subsequent implosion. Vignette was known more for its marketing and salesmanship than for the usability of its software.
Austin Ventures, JP Morgan and others have put a lot of investment into Zilliant.
The company started out as a consulting firm advising companies on their pricing and evolved into a software firm selling Web-based software that optimizes pricing, revenue, and margins. Software models segmentation, and analyzes discounts, and price promotions. Company has some nice early case studies in a variety of industries: Hotwired, GE, and DHL.

The Strategic Price Management space is growing and there are only a handful of vendors, similar to ourselves, that are playing in the space today. Zilliant has been successful in differentiating itself as the preferred B2B price optimization solution within the Manufacturing, Distribution, and Services Industries.
Gartner Analysts predict that through the year 2009, Price Optimization applications will provide the largest return on investment over any other business application. They also mention that in the space today, less than 1% of the market is tapped.
