Keep Up-to-Date with Dialog IntraNews

Having access to late-breaking news continuously is essential to maintaining a competitive edge in today's business environment. News that is relevant, timely, and tailored to meet user needs can be a real asset to any enterprise. IntraNews, a key new addition to the suite of IntraIntelligence tools from Dialog, delivers near real time news from numerous separate wires providing thousands of sources to your organization's intranet or portal throughout the day. Most importantly, IntraNews allows you to customize Dialog's broad news wire coverage to the needs of your organization whether you want to track competitors, monitor industry trends, compile market intelligence, or seek any other topic.

Powerful indexing technology provides the capability to tailor information to your specific content requirements. As a result, users do not receive too much irrelevant information, nor do they spend endless hours searching for the data.

How It Works

Working together with Dialog specialists, you will design a specific content delivery profile. The customized profile can be based on any combination of market sectors, subjects, locations, and companies, and they can also be limited to a restricted list of publications.

Documents will be delivered either in HTML or XML formats, allowing them to be integrated with your organization's own applications. It is an ideal complement to Monitor, which delivers Dialog content daily to intranets.

Installation

IntraNews is easy to install on your organization's server. Dialog provides you with either an NT or Java client application depending on your network environment. Content from IntraNews then becomes a key component of your Knowledge Management, Document Management, and Corporate Information Portal systems, as well as other intranet and web environments.

The Systems Administrator installs a small software application on the server. This application communicates with the IntraNews server across the Internet. When news is available matching the content delivery profile that you have created, it is transmitted to your server, ready for integration or access by search tools. You can then seamlessly search or view the latest news simultaneously with existing internal and external documents, giving you complete information for making decisions.

Obtaining the right information at the right time enables an organization to make better business choices. Don't lose that competitive advantage — please call your local Dialog representative today for a consultation to help you place IntraNews on your organization's intranet.
