the appointment of
Faisal
Mushtaq as chief

Mushtaq

of the company's technology
decisions and product
engineering. His
ability
to develop market-driven
products for public

"Business
intelligence and
analytics systems
help companies
make better decisions
so they can
be more competitive,"
said
Mr. Mushtaq.
"Traditional
and social media
have a tremendous
impact on consumer
purchase decisions
and the sheer
volume of this
content source makes
it
impossible
to
analyze without
market-leading
technology.
Understanding how
and to what
degree company
and product
perception across
media
types
promote or
deter further purchases
is more critical
today than ever."
Mr.
Mushtaq brings
more than 17
years of
technology
leadership and experience
to Biz360.
Most
recently,
he served as
vice president
of product
development
and support for
Neoforma
(NASDAQ:NEOF),
the premier
provider of on-demand
market
intelligence
and supply
chain
software
solutions,
where he led the
company's
product, technology,
and support
groups across locations
in the U.S.
and
India. Neoforma
was acquired
in 2006 for
over $200
million.
Prior
to that, Mr.
Mushtaq served as
CTO and
security officer
at Medem, Inc.,
vice president
of engineering at
Valiant
Networks, Inc.,
and as senior
vice president of
software
engineering & CTO at MDISource, Inc.
"The
depth of Faisal's
product lifecycle
experience
and his ability
to
bring sophisticated
technologies
to market with
outstanding
efficiencies
align well with
Biz360's
needs," said
Brad Brodigan,
CEO
of
Biz360. "Our
clients require
quick and
broad analysis
of thousands
to millions
of scattered
media across
the Internet
and Faisal's
experience
will
help take our
product capabilities
to the next
