The Story Behind the Headline - Twitter and Google Aim for the Truth
2nd September 2013
Is the leaking, whistleblowing and revelation of secret documents that continues to capture the headlines having an effect on what consumers of news are expecting to read on the internet? Are they no longer satisfied with the snippets of news that Twitter and other social media outlets provide, preferring to read the stories behind the headlines to get the real picture? Just as traditional news providers are embracing social media tools, it would appear that Twitter and Google are moving the other way.

Leadership Companies Premium offers a tightly focused and well-executed product for organisations which require executive contact and network details on US public companies and the largest/most important private companies, finds Aileen Marshall in her executive summary.

Corporate Social Networking - Be Cautious but Assume It's Here to Stay
29th August 2013
Information managers may be right to be cautious in claiming too much for social media within the enterprise, and can perhaps help avoid both the bandwagon effect and the backlash if social networking fails to live up to the hype. But as Pew Research Center findings imply, the senior executives' generation is rapidly getting to grips with social networking. Furthermore, predictions from Microsoft suggest that its roll-out within large organisations is inevitable. One year after its acquisition by Microsoft, Yammer continues to integrate with established Microsoft products and to link with other partners - most recently Klout, which can measure influence and expertise within the workplace.

Examining the outputs, alerts, user interface and special functionality, Chris Porter finds BvD's Compliance Catalyst offers rich and complex functionality complemented by a clear, uncluttered and easy to read user interface.

Alerts are also a key feature of the service, allowing clients to monitor in an ongoing manner - an essential part of effective due diligence.
ROI Again - What's the Value of Properly Managed Information?
21st August 2013
There's no shortage of evidence that professional management of an enterprise's information can provide a good return on investment. But as recent reports from the vendors Huddle, Encompass and Wand show, the problem is that it's easy to dismiss evidence from interested parties, no matter how reliable the evidence they provide. But with more neutral analysts such as Gartner and the Economist Intelligence Unit also highlighting the importance of information as an asset, perhaps it's time for the information profession to follow the example of the Chief Marketing Officer Council and set up a resource to concentrate expertise in demonstrating ROI.

Chris Porter delves into the search options in BvD's Compliance Catalyst and explains how to create a new piece of detailed research on a company for client onboarding, working through a series of sections including client type, beneficial owners, directors, corporate group risk and negative news. Other processes can be added (or some of the pre-configured options dropped) to match the organisation's risk appetite.
