Kristine Slaboszewski, Tellabs

"GIA’s Intelligence Plaza was a critical component needed to implement a new intelligence function at Tellabs, Inc. The GIA team was extremely helpful right from the beginning, from scoping the project to tailoring end results to user needs. The Plaza delivers quality customized information and is scalable to reach as many users in the organization as necessary."

Daniel Cho, Director of Market Intelligence (PCCI) at Philips Healthcare

“PHID (Philips' internal branding for Intelligence Plaza®) is instrumental in the success of PCCI in the recent integration process of new businesses and acquired companies. Without PHID as a common sharing platform, accepting these six new Business Units and 20+ new individual businesses would be a nearly impossible task.

Now, by simply including them into PHID, we can start capturing new knowledge from these new partners, sharing with them our collections of Intelligence (500,000 EUR worth of secondary research materials in their area of interest), as well as capturing the competitive moves, and provide them with guidelines on how to win deals based on good practices in other successful regions."

Scott Brown, product reviewer from VIP magazine

“Each Intelligence Plaza® installation is highly customised to the customer’s operating and business environment. I get a strong impression that Intelligence Plaza works closely with their customers to make sure they get the most out of Intelligence Plaza as an integral part of the customer’s intelligence process. The level of support seems quite high. I (also) get the impression that customers of Intelligence Plaza are very loyal.”

Peter Quatfass, senior market analyst at TNT Post

"We choose Intelligence Plaza® because it has been developed by strategic market intelligence advisors who understand the needs of business planners and analysts. We saw in it, the functionalities and best practises that we need for timely and tailored market monitoring. The system is very intuitive, so it is easy for analysts to manage and for our user groups to use. Better yet, we have the benefit of trying it first as a software as a service, with the option to buy the software later and host it ourselves. And I was impressed with the short time needed to customize the tool to our needs. We actually got the system up and running within two weeks - as planned.”

Nicole France, head of market intelligence at Fujitsu Services

“At about the time I was weighing the options between making do with the work we had done in SharePoint and trying to undertake a much bigger project with internal IT to make it into the sophisticated tool that we had proved we needed, I learned about GIA’s Intelligence Plaza. The Intelligence Plaza® seemed to fit our needs very well. We were also convinced by its large user base and GIA’s consultative expertise that we could leverage and thereby avoid many potential pitfalls in the implementation process. I found GIA’s consultative engagement style considerably accelerated the implementation process.”

"GIA's Intelligence Plaza has helped Robeco to boost our market intelligence effect by more efficiently gathering and distributing market intelligence information throughout the company. The easy to use functionality helps my team and colleagues every day to find useful information for more effective decision making. Moreover, the expertise of the people that work at GIA or can bring together if needed is and has been very helpful in developing our market intelligence efforts further."
