“The information industry is changing, and we are at the forefront of the transformation,” said Roy M. Martin, Jr., Dialog president and CEO. “Today, the imperative is to offer the tools necessary to integrate information into in-house networks and professional and consumer services on the open Web. We must reach professionals as part of their day-to-day workflows and individuals as a component of their interactivity with Web services. And we must give those professionals and individuals the knowledge resources they need to be more successful.” [Dialog to Highlight Information Solutions for Enterprises, Web Integration at Online Information 2003]
