I've embedded my thoughts below for the areas where Ivan has said that 
he is looking for feedback.

All other comments are very welcome. :-)

The goal of the question is to get a better understanding as to who 
exactly the decision makers / influencers are. That way we can tailor 
our collateral to the key people. Lee: Does this answer your question?

Perhaps we should change the description to 'Compliance, Governance and

Web provides benefits in this area because it provide an approach that 
is flexible, precise, repeatable, and intelligent.

Ivan has changed the ranking for this question, so hopefully that helps.
