CFOs worldwide learn the value of ZoomProspector through CFO Magazine
Business location analysis website ZoomProspector.com featured in March 2009 issue of the leading publication for financial executives
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 6, 2009 -- CFO Magazine, a publication of the Economist Group and the leading news resource for Chief Financial Officers worldwide, covered ZoomProspector (http://www.ZoomProspector.com) in their March 2009 issue.
The article, entitled "Zooming Market" (http://www.cfo.com/article.cfm/13172716?f=search) starts off by saying "Looking for locations in all the wrong places? It's a vexing problem when companies expand or consolidate, especially in unfamiliar markets."
According to the article, ZoomProspector.com helps to solve this problem because, "Users can view demographic data for any selected community, retrieve a ranked list of communities that most closely match places where a business already exists, or search for communities that match business-location requirements. ZoomProspector can even sift through these communities for patents issued, venture-capital businesses funded, average household expenditures, nearest interstates, and the presence of federal empowerment zones or Environmental Protection Agency Superfund sites."
Quoted in the article is Ken Kaufman, CEO of CFOWise, "My mind goes first and foremost to the hundreds of thousands of dollars lost by making wrong decisions when opening in new markets," said Kaufman. "I wouldn't say that ZoomProspector would always avoid that, but in 90 percent of cases it can help us identify problems before going in."
"CFOs are often responsible for making business location decisions but they often don't have the formal training in site selection or access to the data needed to find the best locations for their expansions or relocations. ZoomProspector provides them with actionable data and analysis to make those decisions," said Anatalio Ubalde, CEO and Co-Founder of ZoomProspector.com. "CFO Magazine is the most respected and well read publication in the world for CFOs, so we're pleased that the specific value ZoomProspector offers to financial executives will reach their audience of over 500,000 subscribers."
