Bank of America (HQ: Charlotte, NC)

BofA is forming a new company, along with First Data Corp. The new company is being called Banc of America Merchant Services. The new entity will be a "next generation payments company", based in Atlanta.
 
We like it when a brand new company is started by deep pockets. Their need for new, cutting edge technology and services may be ripe.

Dell Inc. (HQ: Round Rock, TX )

If you help companies with collaboration, knowledge management and idea sharing, Dell may need your help. 
 
In this article, Robin Johnson (Dell's CIO) details how his company promotes employee idea sharing using social media.
 
We like the part where he explains EmployeeStorm, Dell's online forum where employees can contribute and rate ideas.

Yahoo is opening a new state of the art data center in NY. Here is a quote from the article: "Yahoo! plans to invest tens of millions dollars in the construction and computer equipment fit-out of its new East Coast Regional data center."
 
We know many of you offer services and technology for data center operations. Find a quote in the article by the EVP of Service Engineering & Operations at Yahoo.

General Electric Company (HQ: Fairfield, CT) 
 
Wow, GE is really building something ambitious. The company has announced they will open an Advanced Manufacturing Technology & Software Center in Michigan.
 
The center will house over 1,100 GE employees over the next few years. In addition to engineers and scientists, the center will also have experts in software development, data architecture, networking, business intelligence and program management.
 
Looks like there is opportunity here for almost every B2B salesperson.
