Personalized Knowledge: Dialog Launches Dialog NewsEdge

'Personal Business Information Service' combines global content with customized editorial guidance

Dialog NewsEdge is where knowledge begins by offering you a personalized view of the most important news on the industries you monitor each day. This service combines up-to-the-minute news, analysis and research gathered from thousands of global sources with customized editorial relevance ranking, personally managed by highly experienced editors specializing in various industry sectors.

This team of editors constantly monitors the flow of information - news reports, media announcements, recently released analysis and opinion and more — to select the most relevant and consequential developments. Those editorial picks are distributed via updates throughout the workday.

Dialog NewsEdge may be customized first by the subscribing organization and then by individual users and departments utilizing the service. Enterprise-wide customization options include selecting content feeds according to industry sectors. Content suites are available in the following industries: Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Biotechnology, Financial Services, Food & Beverage, Healthcare, Information Technology, Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, Semiconductors, Telecommunications, and Utilities.

Other features of the new Dialog NewsEdge service include:

Access to Real-Time News. Users can easily track industry-specific real-time news as it is distributed (and sometimes, prior to publication) by newswires and industry reporting services.

Direct Database Research. Dialog NewsEdge comes with information databases, containing previously published articles, reports and research drawn from more than 2,000 global sources relevant to targeted industry sectors, which users can search and electronically retrieve documents as needed.

Fast Knowledge Sharing. Users within a subscribing corporation can share articles delivered through Dialog NewsEdge, with the value-added ability of including their description for relay on to selected colleagues. This ability creates new opportunities for enterprise collaboration.

Automated Relevance Ranking. In addition to the personalized editorial services offered by Dialog's editors, Dialog NewsEdge also incorporates advanced information filtering technology to automatically prioritize news and information by importance to the user.

Easy Set Up & Management. Dialog NewsEdge has been designed so that individual executives and professionals within subscribing organizations can directly manage their specific feeds, with easy set up and management of individual profiles.
