Competitive Intelligence Tools
As a competitive intelligence professional, your time and budget is typically spent on gathering primary research from a wide variety of sources — gathering news from industry experts, trade shows and conferences, customers and vendors, and so on. Connotate's competitive intelligence tools/applications automate the entire information access process with monitoring, specialized searching, extraction, and normalization of dynamic content deep within the Web. With high-value data delivered to your desktop 24/7, you can analyze more accurately and react more quickly to changes that affect your competitive position. Connotate's virtual workforce of Intelligent Agents empowers competitive intelligence professionals to harvest, garner and unleash valuable competitive data from disparate sources, helping organizations avoid unpleasant surprises by anticipating competitors' moves and decreasing response time. Our customizable competitive intelligence tools help firms stay ahead of the curve in their industry by understanding:
- What their competitors are doing – growth, mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, etc.
- What they are planning to do – launch a new product/service/solution
- Where are they planning to do it – regionally, nationally, globally, etc.
- Why they are doing it – strategy
- How are they going to do it – implementation
- And with whom they are doing it – alone, with a strategic partner
Armed with this competitive knowledge, this actionable data can then be utilized to uncover strengths and weaknesses. They also provide keen, strategic insight to future trends and market demands that help companies gain competitive advantage in the marketplace.
