It's the question we've been asked, in one way or another, ever since the Internet became part of the information supply chain. Who's doing it right?

The question reflects both the tantalizing sense that some publishers, somewhere, are using the Internet to create profitable new products, and the bedeviling suspicion that there is a new cast of characters out there, cultivating ideas that can really shake things up.

So InfoCommerce Group is responding with a list of infocommerce Models of Excellence. Both new and established, these database products are singled out to show how real revenue is generated by selling and distributing information online.

These "exemplars" are announced to the media and showcased at the annual InfoCommerce conference, the event where the most talented and dynamic infocommerce publishers from around the world meet to collaborate on new ways of doing business. It is a distinct honor to be selected as a Model of Excellence, and an opportunity to take your place among the best of the best.
