Epicentric Foundation Server is a business portal platform designed to help companies deploy, provision and manage targeted Web services.
Business users will be able to research and track Factiva content from more than 6,000 world-class news and business information sources – including content in 12 languages from 118 countries – without leaving the portal interface, saving time and increasing organizational productivity. With minimal development, Epicentric customers can easily integrate Factiva’s unique global content collection into their portal interface using Factiva Search Module and Factiva Track Module.
This agreement enables Epicentric customers to develop and centrally manage their Web initiatives by integrating relevant news and business information sources available through Factiva into their business process, said Clare Hart, president and CEO of Factiva. As portal platforms continue to develop, companies will use them to not only empower their employees with information, but redefine the way they interact with their customers and suppliers.
Our partnership with Factiva offers significant benefits to business users, who demand high-quality and personalized Web content and services, said Ed Anuff, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Epicentric, Inc. By working with Factiva, Epicentric continues to exhibit its commitment to customers by offering a rich selection of premium and relevant content, applications and services that meet specific industry and business needs.
Factiva Search Module and Factiva Track Module – available with English, French and German user interfaces – are part of the Factiva Integration suite of tools designed to integrate Factiva’s global content into intranets, portals and CRM systems. Factiva Search Module enables users to search Factiva’s archive and retrieve information on any business topic. Factiva Track Module enables companies to set up current awareness news folders to deliver relevant, profiled news and business information on their industry, competitors or any key topics that affect their business decisions.
The Factiva Partner Network reinforces Factiva’s strategy to integrate targeted news and business information into corporate desktops. Through the Network, Factiva partners with software developers to provide easy integration into common enterprise applications.
