Got this email from my partner and CEO Steve DeAngelis yesterday. It was waiting for me after I got home from an East Coast trip (NC, MA).

Very exciting stuff:

To: Team Enterra

More good news from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq! We have hit a milestone!

As of today, Enterra registered the 1,000th Iraqi company as a member of the "Enterra One World" Business-to-Business Exchange (B2B) website. This program, one of many BTA Iraq reconstruction initiatives, represents a departure from the traditional way of conducting business in Iraq. The program started 17 months ago and took a while to gain traction, however, during the last six months we have tripled the number of companies registered. This is quite an accomplishment.

This success was the result of another super team effort. My thanks and appreciation to all concerned.

The entire team should take pride in this significant achievement...another class-act performance!

All the Very Best,

Steve

BTA refers to the Business Transformation Agency within the Office of Secretary of Defense. It gave Enterra initial funding to operate the B2B Center, which we established.

Naturally, it's a proud day for Enterra.
