Register today to receive the insights developed in the current Research Focus, "Intelligence systems - intelligence 2020".

Our top three insights are designed to help you get the most out of our research with a minimum investment of your time. They are short, focused on action, and provide easy links to additional resources, including upcoming webinars and Community sessions, to enable you to dive deeper.

"Change your mind, change your world" is the headline of the first insight, emphasising the importance of the shift from "current awareness" to "intelligence" as we think about this solutions category.

You'll want to read more if you are concerned about:

• Demonstrating and measuring impact
• Staying in front of critical technology trends.

Although traditional newsletters continue to have an important place in many (if not most) organisations, the future is more user-driven and complex, and you want to be ready for it.

Register to receive this insight in full-text in your inbox. Then, the other two insights will arrive, one per month, through December. Stop your registration at any time.

The launch of this Research Focus marks the latest iteration of Jinfo's analysis of the overlapping areas of news, current awareness and business intelligence. Over more than 10 years of study (and counting), we've tracked evolution in technology, user requirements, information team skills and budgets, and strategic direction of the key players in this space.

Benefit from our experience - request our insights and then access the full range of articles, reports, webinars and Community sessions produced in this project, all included in your Jinfo Subscription.
