Burgess COMMENTARY
DATAMARAN seems to be a company with an interesting mission. My first impression was that the company was working to do something very similar to the TrueValueMetrics (TVM) initiative, but a closer look shows it is quite different.
One of the goals of TVM is to have much more data that reflect the progress and performance of a business not as reported solely by the company, but by all the actors in the socio-enviro-economic ecosystem that we all inhabit.
