] Why was the LinktoEXPERT Web portal created?
|

The LinktoEXPERT Web portal was created to empower executives to expedite innovation by leveraging business experts. Recent changes in the economy have altered the way executives do business; with many organizations downsizing and rightsizing, they can no longer justify employing full-time, highly-skilled individuals. However, these companies continue to need that expertise and will pay for those services on an "as-needed basis" instead of carrying the financial burden of long-term, fixed expenses.
