We are impressed with the resources that the CMO Council provides to marketers, and we deeply believe in the organization's mission to bring clarity to the emerging role of the CMO in technology enterprises. For more than 30 years, CMP Media has made its own contribution to this initiative so we're pleased to be aligned with such a strong advocate.

CMP is in the unique position to provide SOHO entrepreneurs with expertise that broadens to full-blown business advice by leveraging our strength in technology-related editorial and content. We plan to continue expanding our offerings for both businesses and consumers by providing them with the crucial information they need to make technology purchasing and other crucial business decisions.

Our aim is to provide SOHO entrepreneurs with answers to the dozens of business questions that arise every day and help them take informed courses of action. Smallbizresource.com will offer small business owners a single source that can help them improve how they run their businesses.
