Does it? How are they unique? The following,
"Norman Technologies is the only U.S.-based private-sector I.T. consultancy focused solely on global trade initiatives. The company is also unique in that it provides the only non-bank representative to the International Chamber of Commerce's Committee on Banking Technique & Practice. The firm is also a member of the International Financial Services Association."
uses a heap of weasel words/buzzwords/business jargon ("global trade initiatives") which don't really mean much; and what is the
I agree. I'm curious as to what they actually do :)
International Chamber of Commerce's Committee on Banking Technique & Practice anyway?

You're wrong. /Nobody cares/ about J. Random Company, manufacturer of Gnomovision, which makes passes about compilers, even if Gnomovision is notable[0].
Really? What do companies do when they're trying to work out whether or not to do business with another company? Do they just visit their website and hope for the best? There must be some resources to allow one to research another company - and why shouldn't Wikipedia be that resource?
Because it's just one more article which people are going to edit war and email OTRS about, and it's not particularly interesting or informative; the aim of an encyclopedia is to be factual, informative and interesting.
There's no shortage of boring article topics, including most counties in the US (or communes in France for that matter). If it's not informative enough, mark it {{stub}}. Or do you think that no decent article could ever be written on a company of only 26 employees? I'm sure that's not the case, we must have articles on companies of only 1 or 2 that have some amazing product...
