Define and manage value for current awareness
Jinfo Research Focus
October - December 2017
This Research Focus provides analysis, expert articles and product reviews on the state of play for current awareness services:
- The value of current awareness services increasingly comes from technology - management platforms, analytics and self-service
- Premium news databases are a shrinking portion of the pie for effective current awareness services - spend accordingly
- Design for 2020, then work backwards to determine where to invest in technology and skills.
Find out more through our articles, models, market landscapes and vendor reviews.
