Included in the original vision and mission when we launched WorldTradeDaily.com last May was offering advanced technologies and databases to the trade community at large (free of charge) with the idea of expanding the understanding and innovation within the field. Unfortunately, since “free” still requires considerable financial and technological resources to launch and maintain, this aspect of the original vision and mission have yet to be fulfilled. The expansive database repositories and advanced technologies still represent retained CenTradeX Assets that still possess tremendous intrinsic value. In 2012, I will attempt to better represent and promote these resources. To those interested in learning more, I suggest the following:
- Open source (free) access WTD database repositories.
- WTD Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) engine, analytics and reporting tools
Along those lines, we published a series of articles that represent the story behind WorldTradeDaily and the development of the innovative CenTradeX applications, acquired and now marketing by PIERS /UBM Global.
