TBF, our quarterly report

As it has been the norm for the past 2 quarters, TBF is happy once again to deliver our Quarterly report on activity. First and foremost, we are glad to report that even though Q1 had been particularly difficult for the IC industry in general, and we have not been spared, The Broker Forum has continued investing in its technology and this is now delivering results.

Value creation for our members always has been at the core of our product development strategy. With this in mind we have focused on: 1-improving access to TBF with TBF Mobile, and, 2-Implementing features designed to increase the amount of information available to our members to make informed business decisions, through the Verified Program and the Member Feedback System. Finally, we launched the Customizable Search Results Columns to improve User Experience, and we hard launched the TBF Community, a free social networking site for the IC industry
