1. Developed by intelligence experts
- Developed by strategic market intelligence advisors (Global Intelligence Alliance) for managing the complete competitive intelligence process. We understand your pain points - after all, we have been using Intelligence Plaza® to deliver market monitoring services to over 30,000 clients since 2000.
- Rely on experts who can help you plan, set up and even populate your competitive intelligence portal with market updates and analysis if you choose. Not only that, we can advise you on how to market and launch the service to your internal clients, as we have done for over 100 companies.
2. Multi-channel intelligence delivery
Operate a complete competitive intelligence (CI) engine, handling both inflow and outflow of information about markets and competitors.
-
Email alerts - Any user can set up personalized alert profiles based on his or her preferred topics or type of content - such as reports, news, or comments.
-
Intuitive and flexible web user interface - Users enjoy an easy-to-use web interface with Intelligence Plaza®. The solution offers a full range of features, including custom dashboards, search tools, trend analysis and graphing tools, as well as collaboration capabilities through discussions boards, commenting capabilities and ratings. The web interface also enables each user to manage personal settings.
-
Mobile user interface - Mobile device users can access market and competitor intelligence via their Android, iPhone, Blackberry or iPad devices - to mention only a few!
-
Microsoft SharePoint - Users can also access and search the Intelligence Plaza® content through SharePoint, without ever leaving the SharePoint interface.
3. Substantial cost-savings
Intelligence Plaza® can potentially save each of your users at least 1.5 hours a week, according to a 2010 GIA customer survey. That effectively accumulates to about 9.5 days saved a year per user.
Save the hassle of developing an intelligence software system in-house. Purchasing intelligence software rather than developing your own solution saves time and effort, and is often the least costly option. See how Fujitsu Services saved time and money by using Intelligence Plaza®.
