OneSource adds strategic insights on 2000 UK Companies

Business Browser is the first business information service to employ content mining technologies giving OneSource users access to hard-to-reach info

OneSource Information Services Ltd, an infoUSA company and leading provider of business information solutions, is upgrading its flagship Business Browser products to include additional insight on more than 1000 UK quoted companies. Recruiters that use OneSourceís Global, UK or European Business Browser products will be able to access to expert evaluations of company strengths and weaknesses and important information on strategic initiatives and corporate relationships - for competitors, partners, and customers.

The information in Company Insights is derived from 10,000 objective analyst reports covering the top 1000 UK companies (and 17,000 global companies for Global Business Browser subscribers).

Recruitment professionals will be better able to apply their products and services to specific customer business challenges and be smarter about preparing for strategic client meetings, speeding sales call preparation and account plan development.

They will be able to very quickly gain a snapshot of key information sources to provide strategic company insight. The summaries will enable them to decide which analyst report source to research first, so that they donít have to read through numerous lengthy reports to get to the information they need.

ìA lot of worthwhile data is locked inside of analyst reports,î said Paul Cooper, UK VP of Sales at OneSource Information Services. ìWe are the first business information service to employ content mining technologies to highlight the key insights found within the reports ñ saving our users time searching through reports in their effort to better understand a business.î

The Company Insights module employs advanced language processing and content mining technology to distill data from trusted objective financial analyst reports.

ìThe complexity of decision chains within organisations is increasing,î said Mike Haines, Research Vice President of Gartner Dataquest. ìBusiness and sales professionals need to know everything they can about backgrounds, track records and relationships before they initiate a sales call, client meeting or proposal. That capability raises the standard for providing valuable insights and revealing connections that are critical to success.î
