Insight Mapping™ Market and Technology Intelligence System

Insight Mapping starts where search engines end -- discovering what's changing about existing issues or uncovering new issues you haven't yet identified. Built from software developed for government intelligence agencies, Insight Mapping provides peripheral vision, exploring vast amounts of information to target emerging changes in your marketplace or technology.

Search engines do only that - retrieve information containing your key words for you to read. Insight Mapping integrates multiple search engines with a Discovery Engine to spot emergent patterns, shifts and trends.

Think of it as a search engine with artificial intelligence to detect:

  • What's new - never mentioned before?
  • What's changing fast or gaining momentum?
  • What's connected or related?
  • What's different among the similar?

In this hyperchange world where markets shift overnight and new competitors emerge from anywhere in the world, businesses cannot afford to be caught flat footed. Insight Mapping provides early warning to enable managers to stay one step ahead.
