Find What You Value in FreePint
Jinfo Blog

By Robin Neidorf

Abstract

FreePint continues its focus on the value offered by its own collection and on the ROI offered by the information products from vendors across the gamut of industries and organisations. Robin Neidorf looks at how FreePint signposts content through the blog pieces, Series and product reviews - and how these sources of information are complemented by regular Webinars and Community of Practice sessions.

Item

One of the exciting characteristics of the information world is that it touches just about every industry and every type of organisation out there. This same characteristic can make it challenging for FreePint readers to find the content most relevant to their needs in our collection.

Two recent blog items can help you find your way:

• Emerging Markets Resources: if your organisation is amongst the many trying to make emerging markets part of your growth strategy, you'll find Perrin Kerravala's overview of recent FreePint content on emerging markets resources useful and enlightening.

• Vendors: if you sell information products or information-related services, check out Ann Marie Plankey's recent item for vendors about how we've enhanced the FreePint Subscription for you. Learn how you can get the most value from FreePint for market and competitive intelligence, as well as build visibility with our buy-side audience.

You might also find it helpful to review our Topic Categories to discover areas of coverage of interest to you and your work.

Social Enterprise Series

We're nearing the conclusion of the FreePint Topic Series: The Social Enterprise. If you're still struggling to identify strong use cases that connect social tools to business objectives, Amit Kothari's article on alignment - including practical examples and templates - will be particularly useful.

We dissected another practical example in the FreePint Webinar: Case Study of CapInTouch as part of this series. Request access to the recording by completing this form.
