StrategyEye unveils new semantic industry intelligence platform, 3.0

StrategyEye, a business development utility used by major enterprise teams at the likes of Microsoft, Nokia, Accenture and BP to monitor global intelligence in the digital media and clean technology industries, announces the latest release of its hosted intelligence platform, StrategyEye 3.0.

The StrategyEye platform combines in-house commentary and data on commercial activity (including all partnerships, VC, M&A deals) for thousands of companies with a 'semantic' technology platform allowing users to easily follow related expert blog and news opinions in near real-time.

The 3.0 release provides an entirely new, intuitive interface as well as tools to rapidly export commercial activity data on companies globally, from early stage ventures such as Twitter to market giants such as Google or Shell.

Nick Gregg, CEO of StrategyEye, commented "Our clients want to receive trusted intelligence and data, written and validated by human analysts, on all types of commercial and deal activity - but at the same time also want to be able to instantly link from these to the best related opinions in expert blogs or other online sources. We marry the two together in one single executive dashboard with a new range of filtering and analysis tools tailored to our clients' increasingly time-pressured requirements."

With the new interface and now over 30,000 companies and 600 categories monitored, the latest platform makes it easy to identify and prioritize new clients, partners or competitors as well as to access the most informed global viewpoints on emerging, disruptive business models or events.
