CreditRiskMonitor CTO Michael Broos Recognized for IT Leadership Strategies

VALLEY COTTAGE, NY - April 22, 2005 - Michael Broos, Chief Technology Officer of CreditRiskMonitor (OTCBB: CRMZ), has been recognized as a leader in IT management by the editorial board of Inside the Minds and has been selected as an author of the recently released book, Inside the Minds: CTO Leadership Strategies, published by Aspatore Books.

Mike Broos stated: "I'm honored to be included in this book with the CTOs of such influential organizations as Travelocity, Dow Corning, Advanstar Communications, Jones Apparel Group, Northrup Grumman Information Technology, Global Crossing, Monsanto and PBS. My contribution is a real-world look at how technology can drive the success of a small competitor by becoming the low-cost-producer through extensive automation. The financial information industry is dominated by huge firms and products are increasingly commoditized. We are able to compete by delivering a timely, comprehensive information product at a very low cost. There are just four "golden rules" for IT leadership in getting this done."

Inside the Minds: CTO Leadership Strategies: CTOs from Dow Corning, Travelocity, and more on Aligning Technology with Business & Impacting the Bottom Line as a Chief Technology Officer (ISBN: 1-59622-137-2) is an indispensable guide for any CTO, regardless of industry. The book features targeted, specific advice from top CTOs representing some of the nation's most innovative companies. As they reveal the secrets to selecting the most beneficial technologies, effective budgeting, and what it takes to become a leader in the field, these authorities offer practical and adaptable strategies for excellence.
