The focus on industry information, the provision of statistics, and the useful company profiles
are especially helpful. I mention it in classes and while answering reference questions; the
students are especially excited to hear about it. I expect that it will continue to show its

“Your tool is very comprehensive and immensely useful... I've gotten a lot of valid information
(so many tools out there are quite out-dated). The vertical marketing tool is very helpful,
for it assists us in that venue, as well as targeting our customers’ competition for new sales.
Other than that, the exporting of data is very simple, both on the LAN and via dial-up -- I was
surprised with the speed when using it via dial-up. The comprehensive material is absolutely fabulous.
I am very impressed, I have to say!”
