objective of creating net value, building a competitive infrastructure,
leveraging worldwide logistics, synchronizing supply with demand and
measuring performance globally.” (Wikipedia)

concepts to select Users to improve sales, purchasing and net profits at a
low and predictable cost; and with minimal increase in user overheads.
