Abstract
Find out what the second insight from our Research Focus, "Intelligence systems - beyond awareness to action", means for you if you purchase or specify premium news content.
Item
The second insight for the Research Focus, "Intelligence systems - beyond awareness to action", is this:
- Premium sources face increasing competitive pressure from all sides. The marketplace leaders continue to lead, but by much smaller margins.
Like many information teams, you probably use Factiva, Nexis or another news aggregator as the backbone of your current awareness service provision, and you probably chose it for the breadth and depth of its content. But are you also noticing that this "backbone" is bearing less and less of the weight you need?
Information teams are increasingly supplementing premium services with a range of additional feeds, subscriptions and internal resources. Many have added third-party content-agnostic platforms like Manzama and InfoDesk to manage all these resources. It's no wonder that the "big guys" are feeling some pressure and purchasers are taking a hard look at the expense.
Get the data and the analysis you need to consider your own environment and where your organisation's needs are heading.
