Good news for ISSCIO.com community

ISSCIO.com is everyday looking like a better portal for Intellectual Property thanks to an ever growing expert directory (more than 150 firms now) and great content. On top of that, as I hinted in last blog, we have much good news coming this way that will take ISSCIO.com to the next stage.

First, Ms. Olga Yevetska has joined me in the ISSCIO.com project team. This will allow us to develop a better site and improve the relationship with experts and users, something that is always a priority.

Second, and if you have been visiting the site in the last week you may have noted, we have made some design adjustments. We gave more space for information and less for navigation, and we put the log in and sign up buttons in a better location. On top of that we remade the homepage. Also we have fixed some bugs when using older browsers, even thou we still recommend browsers such us Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. These seem small changes (and some too in the tech side) but we believe will improve the experience of using ISSCIO.com.

Finally, important news comes from our funding company, Brights Consulting Inc. Now that the site has starting to gain momentum, our parent company will start making a more intensive use of ISSCIO.com. From tomorrow we are going to start posting questions in the Q&A section as Brights Consulting Inc. to engage experts directly through the site. Moreover, other company systems (used by our clients) will start using ISSCIO.com as reference for information and will heavily link to the site. Last, and this is very important news, we have decided that ISSCIO.com has reached a point where it can be introduced to the Intellectual Property Community in Japan. Therefore Brights Consulting Inc. will announce the site to thousands of IP specialist within Japanese companies by November 25th. This is, needless to say, a great opportunity for all experts in ISSCIO.com. Thus we encourage them to update their profiles and to contribute to topics information (and questions) to gain more visibility.

With all these good news is exciting time for ISSCIO.com and it means, no doubt, that the site will become an even better portal for Intellectual Property.
