I have some big news to share: On March 1, I’ll be leaving my role at Factiva to join Dow Jones as Executive Vice President Dow Jones and President, Dow Jones Enterprise Media Group. Dow Jones, as you know, is one of Factiva’s parents. Please see the respective press releases from Factiva and Dow Jones.
I’ve been with Factiva since its inception, and I have been CEO since January 2000. In that time, Factiva has enjoyed continued success and the Factiva team has truly had a lot of fun. Through strong customer relationships and continuous innovation we have been able to build award winning products and a strong financial position with year-on-year revenue and operating income growth.
While leaving day-to-day involvement with this great team was a difficult decision, it was made easier by the fact that as part of my new role at Dow Jones, I also become Chair of Factiva’s board, so I am privileged to remain involved in Factiva’s future success. Further, I’m confident that I’m leaving Factiva as strong as it has ever been. The company will be in the extremely capable hands of Claude Green, who has been Deputy CEO from the beginning and will become the Interim CEO on March 1. He will remain in this position until the Board has appointed my successor.
I’m so grateful to all of you who have made Factiva so successful. We have wonderful, loyal customers, excellent partners and such talented employees. Without any one of these elements, Factiva would not be leading the market today. To all of you, I want to say thank you so much for the support that you’ve given me over the years. I will miss working with you, but I will enjoy keeping track of all your achievements in my new role.
For now, I will not be posting as frequently as I step into my new role but will post periodically as I find new things that will be of interest to colleagues and friends in the information industry.

Web Services in the business world, in the most simplistic fashion, provides a mechanism of communication between two remote systems, connected through the network of the Web Services. The business applications as Web Services, the information systems of different companies can be linked. There are many more important uses of Web Services. These, again, depend on the requirement of your company. http://advancemagnumcash.pixieinfo.com/articles.html
