Technology markets worldwide have recently suffered their biggest valuation drop in centuries. Competition is fierce. Capital expenditures have shrunk to levels one fourth of what they were during the expansion years of the late 1990's.

Small and medium sized technology companies must fiercely protect their funding and human resources. Every practical decision maker is looking for the most efficient delivery method possible. Finding less expensive, or alternate technologies is high on most all senior IT and communication agendas. SAW believes that the next two years will be continued tight capex markets. However, with knowledge tools like the Global Match Matrix™, and effective knowledge management tools like Alliance Central, and surgical inquiry tools like SCOUT can make a sizeable impact to company growth strategies. Additionally, by utilizing the SAW NO CHARGE network of tools, your business may freeze out competition in their own markets.

The proprietary and extremely powerful SCOUT feature of the GMM network can be utilized to stay on top of global competitors. If at any time a GMM member wishes to query the entire network of members they can fill out a request form and submit it to the GMM technology committee. The global village of GMM members can thus "PULL" general or specific information from the network.

SAW initiates a data mining process to see if the answer is in our product and service records. If there is a match, the requestor receives an immediate reply. If the content appears to be of general interest to all members we "post" the information on the internal Alliance Central bulletin board for all members to see. If the answer is not immediately available, SAW takes the request, sanitizes it by removing the requestors name, country, or any specific identifier, and packages a SCOUT message that is sent to the entire GMM worldwide network. When the "pings" come back with answers, SAW follow the same procedures of notifying the requestor, and posting the information. SCOUT, opens a truly global resource center of past, present and future business opportunities and information gathering.

SCOUT is only available for members once logged into Alliance Central.
