It was Sir Francis Bacon in his work Meditations which offered the aphorism that “knowledge is power.”

Over the years of course this ubiquitous term has probably been attributed to many others besides Bacon, however Sir Francis was and is the first to coin the phrase.

Following a similar line of thinking Buyers Meeting Point, which is a procurement resource site that offers purchasing professionals a quick and convenient access to point to information and decision-making tools, are certainly not the first to operate within the realms of similar type web-based “knowledge-oriented services.”  In fact information in all subjects is readily available to the individual who has both the time and the inclination to navigate what Huxley referred to as a “sea of irrelevance,” which is the Internet.

In an effort to make this a less onerous task, each and every Monday I will be joined by Buyers Meeting Point's Kelly Barner, who will provide an update on industry happenings and developments that will help you to keep your fingers on the pulse of a rapidly changing global industry.
