A Social Business Index Round-Up
By now many of my colleagues and a decent part of the tech press has had a chance to kick the tires and post their points of view on the grand opening of our new Social Business Index (SBI). For those that haven’t heard much about it yet, I’ll go through their useful contributions below. [...]

We choose business partners because of their competency, resources and reliability. They become a critical lynchpin in delivering value to the customer.
