Scient was a San Francisco-based internet consulting company, founded in 1997, that was one of the large American consulting firms during the dot-com bubble. Its CEO was Robert Howe, the former head of IBM global consulting. At its height in the fall of 2000, it had quarterly revenues of US$100 million, 1,180 employees and a stock price of US$133. In August 2001, it bought rival company iXL; by then its quarterly revenues were down to US$11 million.
