Dear Colleague

Keeping up-to-date with new developments is a challenge for everyone. Thomson Scientific has just released a novel solution for managing feeds from any RSS source along with Alerts from Dialog and DataStar. Be sure to check out the story on Enterprise Alert Manager for more details.

In addition, a new trend among database producers now provides charts, graphs and figures, along with the text. See how you can retrieve this information in both the Frost & Sullivan Engineering and Freedonia market research databases.

Enterprise Alert Manager Launched

Thomson Scientific launches Enterprise Alert Manager, an integrated RSS management and collaboration solution designed to simplify information distribution across the organization. With Enterprise Alert Manager, information managers can:

• access, manage and deliver information enterprise-wide from any RSS-based source, including Dialog, the Internet and internal, proprietary content
  
  
• easily review, annotate and share content from multiple sources
  
  
• deliver content via email, portals, intranets, desktop applications and mobile devices

Enterprise Alert Manager lets you keep pace with the growing number of content feeds to ensure your users have all the information they need for a complete picture and the competitive edge, while at the same time reducing email load and network strain.

Enterprise Alert Manager is available through subscription and can be purchased as a stand-alone service or in addition to a Dialog subscription.
