"While savvy companies are using business intelligence and CRM systems to identify their most profitable customers, there's a genuine danger of that information falling into the wrong hands.

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
