Facilities and tools for Business Inteligence

Facilities and tools for Business Inteligence

The growth in the amount of information available on Internet has led to the development of I.T. tools that allow us to automate the processing of large amounts of information in order to find information of interest. These tools use bibliometric and scentometric techniques that combine indexing and statistical analysis techniques. The tools perform the searches, process and analyse technical, economic and commercial information from free internet sources, as well as from on-line bibliographic and commercial databases.

Below you will find a list of the resources available on Internet for the technology watch and competitive intelligence process:
