What's inside
This report is designed to focus on those applications - or apps as they are commonly called - that will help and/or support business researchers (Finding News, Reputation Monitoring, Productivity and Reference). I judged each app against three simple questions: Is it easy to use? Can a researcher use it to share what she finds on, say, competitive intelligence, with colleagues?
