Eva Chiu, president of InfoAdvantage in Bellevue, has
carved her own business niche. She researches information
from worldwide sources to help businesses find new client
contacts, evaluate new markets, find international trade
opportunities, make new business connections and benefit
from global E-mail systems.
The Department of Commerce's huge
National Trade Data Bank is just one example of the
growing number of government
information resources that are showing up on the Internet,
providing such information as foreign trade opportunities,
market research reports and patent information. "Businesses
are just discovering the commercial use of the Internet.
We're seeing new companies and new resources added all
the time. Even using the Internet to send E-mail and
faxes can be a great savings," says Chiu, who will
begin publishing a newsletter this fall on how to access
electronic information sources, including Internet data
banks.
"Business, government and private users of the
Internet are changing the way people do business and
research information. But you have to know where the
information is stored and the search protocols for finding
it," she says.
