From Data to Information to Knowledge

Baltimore, Maryland:  The local business, Mind Over Machines,  was the 2006 Small Business Person of the Year for the US Chamber of Commerce for the northeast.  Though headquartered in  Baltimore, they employ people around the world to serve businesses and governments around the world.
