The End of an Era for News Databases?
Jinfo Community
3rd December 2015
[Topic Series: News, and Other Commodities]
Description
This session is open to content buyers only.
If you've been wondering about the viability of news databases and what continuing change in the sector might mean for your organisation, join this teleconference Communities of Practice session.
Over the eight years since FreePint began our annual Survey on News Needs and Preferences, we have tracked dramatic changes in the news market. Plenty of buying organisations increasingly feel that enterprise access to news databases no longer meets their needs or budgets, and that new features are not nearly compelling enough to offset these changes.
While most of our customers continue to license at least one primary premium news database, our view of the trends suggests that may not be the case for much longer.
Join a confidential, buyers-only conversation to learn more about these trends and hear how your peers in other organisations view the changes. In addition to a preview of our latest survey results, we'll share insights developed from dozens of customer interactions and vendor interviews to shape your thinking about what the next two or three years may hold... and how to position your department and organisation to manage this significant change in our industry.
Communities of Practice are open to any organisation with a FreePint Subscription at the Community level or higher. When your registration is approved, you will receive details to login to the teleconference.
If you have a question about this event, or are unsure if you have a Community level subscription, please contact us.
