The new Snapshots capture a personalized view of information and events on a specific industry, company, region or topic in a single view with timelines, heat maps and charts to uncover and analyze business risks and opportunities. Factiva’s new interface will also improve list and custom alert management as well as assisted search features such as auto-complete. Factiva users will also be able to rate preferred sources to give them higher prominence in search results. Both the new Factiva interface and Snapshots will be available beginning April 30.
