Ques:- Soybeans are a commodity product. A soybean manufacturer, which processes soybeans for food and energy. 80% of production is for food, 20% is for energy. The soybeans are processes in North America, but majority of energy demand today is in Asia/Pacific.

Ques:- Your client is a financial services firm, specifically the Treasury services department. This division has its own software/IT group that created a breakthrough Web case management system that has netted awards and new clients.
