"With the emerging Web workstyle and lifestyle, many corporations are eager to develop an Internet presence by integrating Web sites into their company's overall marketing communications strategy," said Robert Stoeber, president of Creative Media Group.

"Using the Internet to deploy key business applications worldwide makes it easier for companies to a) globalize their operations, b) promote new products to new audiences, and c) create synergistic opportunities between the company and the customer.
