THE CHINA BUSINESS NETWORK SELECTS VISUALCV, INC. TO POWER MEMBER DIRECTORY
Largest U.S./China Online Community to Benefit from Feature-Rich Professional Networking Capabilities
June 2, 2008 - Reston, Va. - VisualCV, Inc., the company reinventing the resume for the digital age, today announced that it will private-label the VisualCV technology platform for The China Business Network to power its member networking directory. The China Business Network aggregates the who's who in China-related business and provides objective resources to its online community of English language speakers whose careers depend on bridging the gap between China and the west.
By using the 'Powered by VisualCV' private-label platform, The China Business Network offers its members, both individuals and organizations alike, a mechanism for professionally presenting and networking themselves by creating, enriching and sharing community-branded VisualCVs. The VisualCV reinvents the resume by turning it into a media- rich career and business development tool.
"The China Business Network has the largest community on several social networking sites, but we needed a way to consolidate and unify our members in-house. After months of actively searching for the best technology to support the needs of our user community, we were challenged to find a platform that was open and social enough to be appealing, yet professional enough for members used to traditional networking -- without it being too cutesy or boring," said Christine Lu, chairman and founder, The China Business Network. "VisualCV, Inc.'s private-label offering strikes the ideal balance and gives our members a feature-rich networking tool. What's more, by using their turn-key solution, we can focus on providing our members with valuable front-end content rather than managing back-end technologies." The China Business Network plans to have its VisualCV, Inc.-powered directory go live in early fall.
'Powered by VisualCV' lets organizations privately brand and manage VisualCVs within a membership community. 'Powered by VisualCV' is available via annual license under a Software as a Service (SaaS) relationship that provides a faster route to market with no IT overhead.
"We've been thrilled to find that the more people and businesses familiarize themselves with the potential of the VisualCV, the more they want the opportunity to interact using VisualCVs," said VisualCV, Inc. CEO, Clint Heiden. "VisualCV fills a void for online communities and makes private-labeling a natural evolution for us. We're proud to be able to help communities like The China Business Network create a professional, interactive forum for their members."
VisualCV, Inc. continues to offer free VisualCV creation at www.VisualCV.com.
