Market Intelligencer

We are planning to release a subscrption-based real-time camera pricing engine for customers wishing to build confidence in buying used Minox cameras and accesories world- wide. The data warehouse will carry unique historical data from 1938-2008 to assist customers to make confidence decisions on sales of Minox equipment internationally. Minox cameras are the trial camera brand for engine, chosen because data has been made available to build a high quality model.
The product will make the use of my IT experience at financial institutions, banks, and news organisations.
