March 4, 2004 - Livonia, Michigan, USA - KnowledgeWatch today announced the launch of a new, unique research service for companies in several major industries. The KnowledgeWatch eBusiness Portal is a Web knowledgebase providing independent research assistance for business and public sector enterprise users needing convenient access to identify and research eBusiness technology software, services and new business processes. KnowledgeWatch eBusiness Portal offers a powerful, uniquely independent, comprehensive presentation of many types of eBusiness technology products that are either well established, growing in popularity, or innovative and emergent.

With accelerating changes in modern eBusiness technology, enterprise professionals struggle to keep up with knowledge necessary to make intelligent decisions about selecting and applying eBusiness. With previous approaches, enterprises devote too much time and manpower keeping pace aggregating information to support strategic technology programs. KnowledgeWatch provides independent, unbiased sources of knowledge about electronic business processes, standards and products providing capabilities to small, medium-size or large businesses and public sector enterprises.

eBusiness Portal objectives are to: 1) reduce professional worker hours spent performing searching and gathering information; 2) reduce elapsed time to identify good choices and 3) reduce business risk in the selection of proper products to consider for evaluation. These objectives are accomplished because eBusiness Portal provides enterprises innovative approaches to searching and reviewing its comprehensive knowledgebase that is a very focused aggregation of eBusiness market alternatives. These objectives yield a very significant ROI over previously existing manpower research processes or market alternatives.

The KnowledgeWatch eBusiness Portal - Community is a special Portal developed for technology-oriented trade groups. This service enables an established trade group "community" to offer their member companies eBusiness Portal capability and the eBusiness knowledgebase as added member services. It can also optionally generate revenue by displaying advertising from regional eBusiness technology service providers. eBusiness Portal - Community offers a way for trade groups to provide both an advanced, efficient research tool for its members and to generate revenue to support this member program.

eBusiness Portal - Automotive and eBusiness Portal - Manufacturing are two initial industry services offered for businesses or public sector enterprises. Additional eBusiness Portal industries will be introduced this year.

"Our mission is delivering accurate knowledge and validation of proper product application," said Donald Hogan, founder and president of KnowledgeWatch. "We will add value for enterprise users through unique knowledge services delivered about eBusiness product choices prior to their selection and their ongoing use." New KnowledgeWatch services will be introduced that help professionals with information organizing assistance for product research, functionality validation and product comparison in eBusiness technology sourcing.
