These technologically robust e-Storefronts will provide thousands of manufacturers and suppliers with the ability to advance and expand their current Web presence to become a fully interactive selling tool. "The paper industry is one more example where traditional companies are looking to new technologies to further the valued business and services they have spent decades building," said David Sikora, CEO and co-founder of Question.com. "Collaborative technologies that enable free-form interaction are essential to companies in the paper industry as they look to bring complex and relationship-driven sales and procurement processes to the Web."
