Competitive Intelligence:
 
Competetive Intelligence: Strategic Advantage

Competitive Intelligence is defined as the action of gathering, analysing and applying information about products, customers, and competitors for the short term and long term planning needs of an organisation. Competitive Intelligence (CI) is both a process and a product and is more than just Competitor Analysis. The process of collecting, storing and analysing information about the competitive arena results in the actionable output of intelligence ascertained by the needs prescribed by an organisation. It should not be confused with 'Industrial Espionage', which may be unethical and under certain circumstances, may utilise illegal means to acquiring competitor information. In the realm of Competitive Intelligence, the problems faced by clients are always unique, so our approach is always tailored to their specific requirements and objectives.

Know Your Competitor

Most firms today realise the importance of knowing what their competitors are doing and how the industry is changing, and the information we gather allows organisations to comprehend and strengths and weaknesses
