Fostering the Democratization of Data, Information, and Advice, Focus.com Delivers Industry Expertise That's Free to Everyone.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Focus.com, based here, is an online resource that offers an efficient and effective way for anyone to access the qualified, expert information they need to make better business decisions. The company was founded on the premise that business and industry expertise should be open, free, and available to everyone.  While this type of in-depth expertise traditionally has been reserved for the Fortune 500, Focus is fostering the democratization of industry data, information, and advice by reinventing how expertise is created, disseminated, and consumed by business professionals.

"At Focus, we believe that information should be free and available to everyone," said Scott Albro, CEO and founder of Focus. "The same Internet forces that have altered how we consume media, connect with peers, and buy products are revolutionizing how businesses access information and advice they need."

With more than three-quarters of a million members, Focus.com has one of the fastest-growing expert communities on the Internet, helping millions of people — in both large and small companies — make better and informed decisions. The linchpin of the Focus community is its network of world-class industry and technology experts. The Focus Expert Network — which includes expert practitioners, industry analysts, and consultants — powers the real-time Q&A, research, and personalized support that so many businesses now depend on.

According to Richard Stiennon, Focus Expert Adviser and a former Gartner, Inc. research vice president specializing in security issues, "Focus is an alternative to the super high-price paid services that large enterprises go to for expert advice.  I use Focus.com to get answers to my business technology questions and to get feedback on my own ideas."

How Focus Works

Focus provides a free, peer-powered, open forum where all business and IT professionals — along with experts and vendors — can interact to gain insights; share experiences; and offer practical, relevant, and timely solutions to ongoing and vexing business challenges. With the breadth and depth of its network of experts, combined with its power of the Internet, Focus can help with almost any topic or issue.

In addition, Focus members can access and exchange information through a number of site features, including free Focus Research reports, briefings, and real-time Q&A, and by direct interaction with Focus experts and analysts.

"After conducting a lot of research on the Web, Focus stood out because there was discussion as well as papers on implementation. These papers were very informative, and I sent them on to management to read," said Joe Demarco, IT director at The Hope Group.
