Here is one more interesting quote that sheds light on just how big a market NSI and Answers.com is targeting . . .
Worldwide spending on customer relationship management services, such as call centers and online computer help desks, are expected to rise at least 20%, to more than $40 billion, this year. And it should more than double that figure in the next four years. By the year 2003, firms are expected to spend $90 billion a year on CRM. This, in contrast to a 1998 worldwide CRM total of $33.2 billion in spending. CRM is defined for these purposes as "a variety of services used to design and operate customer-care systems that help companies attract, retain, service and expand customer relationships to generate business and improve the consumer experience."

I also feel it is appropriate to re-post a few of the endorsements this company has received from several influential people about the company's positioning and prospects for the future. Here they are . . .
"I think perhaps they (Net Shepherd) are on the verge of a whole new trend in the human resources field, a whole new way for companies to define workers and get them very quickly . . . a company that comes along and says: 'We can serve your needs immediately' - that's very attractive for organizations to whom time is everything.
