 * Like you'd expect an article written by PR pros to be, it is superficially "referenced" to one line quotations from business personnel on unrelated subjects. None of those stories have this business as even a minor subject, though.  Obvious snow jobs like this would appear to indicate clearly that the editors had one eye out on Wikipedia notability guidelines when putting together the article.  Because they aren't really notable, they had to find one line quotes from business personnel in real sources.  It seems safe to assume that's the best they can do.  But when the article is as blatantly promotional and obviously slanted as this one is, notability isn't even an issue.
