Enterprise Zone

A DTI sponsored site that provides a lot of useful information and links that could be invaluable to all businesses.  This is what they have to say about themselves.

"The Internet is an important resource for your business, but it is hard to get to the sites that really matter. The Enterprise Zone can help you with links to information, resources, or sources of expertise on Finance, I.T., Marketing, H.R., Export and other key business issues."

"The Enterprise Zone is a gateway to business information for SMEs. It narrows down the mass of information available on the Internet to that which is the most relevant, providing a single point of access to useful information. Launched in 1997 by the DTI and supported by Business Links, it is operated by The Dialog Corporation plc"
