Is Industry Intelligence a news service?
…(+)

No. We are more than news. From most news outlets you get news without context or relevance to your business. Industry Intelligence does not deliver raw information in isolation. Our team of industry experts generates and aggregates information specifically targeting a client's needs. Our news editors report on current industry events, sifting through news, data, statistics, prices, opinion, and commentary from thousands of resources worldwide to provide information that is 100% relevant to a client's needs.

Is information-sharing legal?
…(+)

Sharing information is a fundamental part of doing business. Sharing gives information value, but without proper protection, sharing puts a company at risk of costly copyright-infringement violations. In order to share information, a redistribution license is required, which Industry Intelligence provides.

What is the associated cost of a single copyright violation?
…(+)

The following scenario is replicated multiple times each day in virtually every company.

One of your company's vice presidents receives an on-line subscription industry journal and forwards copies by email to six company department managers. One of the managers forwards a copy to two key customers. Another copies charts of industry economic data and uses the charts in reports to senior management.

The above constitutes nine copyright infringements and exposes a company and others to substantial liability. The cost of a single copyright violation is $150,000. - White Paper (PDF)

With Industry Intelligence, the per employee cost for insurance against copyright violation rarely exceeds $30 per employee per year.

How different is Industry Intelligence from the competition?
…(+)

We are different from every other information provider. Our competitors fall into three categories: market/product-sector specific news providers, broad-based information providers, and free Web-based search engines.

  • Market/Product Sector news providers: Industry Intelligence's service is unlike every other product-specific news provider. We are the only company that has patented technology to deliver news in context. Our service connects news and analysis with data and statistics. We give our users more than news and data; we give them intelligence.
  • Broad-based information providers: Broad-based providers do not know your industry. They use Web-based filters to locate news they deem relevant. Industry Intelligence staffs news editors -- people with industry knowledge to guarantee you get only news that is 100% relevant to your business.
  • Free Web-based search engines: Free Web-based search engines are anything but free. At least 80% of the search results are irrelevant. At Industry Intelligence, 0% of our content is irrelevant. 100% is relevant.
