Dear Client of Reqwired, In 1999, both CE Manager and Reqwired entered the legal market with CLE compliance tracking software. Now, more than 15 years later, as Thomson Reuters discontinues Reqwired, it leaves one solid, premier choice on the market – the only one with over a decade of experience and expertise at calculating and tracking the complexities of CLE rules and requirements across the US – CE Manager.

uly 23, 2014 A big step today. FreshBooks, the business I co-founded 10 years ago in my parents’ basement, has secured its first round of institutional funding—$30M USD from some of the world’s best investors.

But that’s not the only struggle I’ve...

We are going back to our roots, to the entrepreneurial spirit that made Dell one of the fastest growing, most successful companies in history. We’re unleashing the creativity and confidence that have always been the hallmarks of our culture. We plan to serve you, our customers, with a single-minded purpose and drive the...

To: Mr. Eric Schmidt Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Google Inc. Mountain View, CA USA 94043 Dear Mr. Schmidt: Google is an innovative company that has changed how people around the world use the Internet.
