Nguyen went on to say that many of the consortium partners offer unique "best in class" strengths that complement Caliber's knowledge platform.

In addition, they extend our business development and client service while we also serve as a resource for our partners," Nguyen said. "It's a win-win situation for Caliber, our consortium partners, and all of our clients." Nguyen added.

Caliber's Global e-Knowledge Consortium is comprised of the following programs:members can be placed in four categories, although there is some overlap.

Caliber Business Development Partners: Accelerate cross access to client relationships on behalf of each of the partner's services.

Caliber Knowledge Leadership Partners: Provide clients with best-in-class content from leading institutions and providers to compliment internal assets and knowledge.

Caliber Professional Services Partners: An elite group of service partners in fields such as video production, system integration and network infrastructure. Convenient access to this expertise enables clients to better design, produce, deploy and manage their e-knowledge.

"The race is on to transact more and more through high- impact e-knowledge - and to do it faster and faster," Nguyenguuen added. "Our strategic alliances within our new global e-knowledge consortium clearly give us the capability to meet and exceed our client's and the market's requirements."
