Most technology professionals around the world pride themselves with being "wired". This generally means that they utilize the World Wide Web (www) as a resource for "PULL" of information when research is needed. They also receive information via a variety of "PUSH" subscriptions from industry and financial news sources.

SAW's research concluded that most technology professionals are well intentioned about keeping up with the flood of information in a rapidly changing market. However, 90%+ agreed that the best they could do was stay current with their own technology in their host country. What this told the SAW founders was that although "wired", most technology professionals could not keep up with the competitive innovation happening in their own industries outside their immediate markets! Further, when thinking about new and different opportunities for growth in new markets with their own technology – these executives admitted they did not have a convenient way to receive or request information.

SAW, the Global Match Matrix™, and the Alliance Central portal are designed to break down these narrow, time restricting, inefficient barriers.

The SAW founders have built an initial GMM network infrastructure of 300 people. This network is being added to daily by a rigorous nomination and qualification process. Network members include:

• "C" and VP level executives in service providers, and enterprise accounts around the world
• Technologists
• Ministry and governmental contacts
• Educators
• Financial sources (VC's, private and fund managers)
• Global and local agents
• Distributors
• System integrators
• Partners
• Suppliers
• Consultants

These first generation contacts are trusted, experienced, and productive professionals at various levels, in most every country. (SAW has launched the company with a focus on Asia Pacific and North American markets). The "secret sauce" of the SAW business model is how these unconnected professionals will collaborate once given an important personal enhancement and NO CHARGE productivity tool.

The SAW set of programs is valuable to this group because each GMM member is given the opportunity to earn success-based compensation for "matches between a customer and technology". For those that are unable to earn third party compensation SAW directs the proceeds to the selected party. The increase in productivity comes in having global knowledge about existing products, and other opportunities for incremental business. Once either objective is surfaced through the GMM, clients can manage the distributed communication and collaboration with SAW's well designed and centrally located resources. These no cost tools will make the "match making" a profitable experience for all.

Now the technology community can truly claim that they are "wired". SAW is the knowledge engine that links a global village of technologists. The GMM network will grow quickly in the months and years ahead. With every new employee, and trusted partner, there is an increased likelihood of creating new business opportunities and business relationships.

The entire SAW team delights in the power this new virtual network will provide. We look forward to its growth and to sharing in each other's success. Be sure to share your positive experiences with new potential members and visit gmm@sa-wg.com if you have any appropriate members in mind. Remember, SAW will personally screen any new nominees for appropriateness.
