Competitive Intelligence Tools In Action
“A platform that enables users to search for and analyze diverse information sources about competitors and market context gathered by human- and AI-assisted collection, curation, and tagging of data and information from internal and external sources.

Through an active Competitive Intelligence process, companies can enhance their competitiveness in the market through a greater awareness of a firm’s competitors and business landscape in general.
When it comes to Competitive Intelligence, it is true that the focus is on the external business environment, but CI is not necessarily based on market information, as stated above. Internal (internally produced/possessed) intelligence assets are extremely valuable as well.
Decisions must be made fast, yet still take relevant information into consideration. To do this, organizations need to ensure that their employees receive the right information at the right time.
