Competitive Intelligence: Expectation Versus Reality

June 16, 2021 (2 min read)

Maybe you’ve long resigned yourself to the “fact” that competitive intelligence is meant to be complicated and tedious. Maybe even confusing at times. After all, spending hours on Google and collecting information together from a variety of disparate sources is part of the job, right? And that means accepting that some types of information are too hard to find, and that the data you do come across isn’t always organized the same, formatted the same, or even ultimately saved and shared from the same locations.

But what if we told you that manual processes and inefficient research workflows don’t have to be your reality? You should expect better. Because better is possible.

Nexis for Competitive Intelligence simplifies and complements your competitor research workflows and applications, so that you can uncover and share accurate and relevant market insights quickly and efficiently. With it, you take advantage of the most comprehensive collection of company, news, legal, and patent data to visualize results across multiple competitors from a single search. It then visualizes this data for you and shows easy-to-understand comparisons you need to find insights quickly, craft a clear narrative, and share your findings and thoughts from a single workspace.

You can efficiently investigate and compare up to six companies at once, and see how they stack up to you across business-critical indications such as (but not limited to):
