Gale Releases New Business Research Database, Will Replace Business and Company Resource Center

Say hello to Business Insights: Essentials.
From Today’s Announcement:

Business Insights: Essentials,[is]  a new resource for research on business, companies and industries built on the same intuitive platform as the recently-announced Business Insights: Global. Business Insights: Essentials will replace Gale’s long-standing Business and Company Resource Center database.
“Business and Company Resource Center has served our customers well for the last 12 years, but today’s researcher is very different from the users the product was originally designed for,” said David Forman, vice president and publisher, Gale. “The new platform and features included in Business Insights: Essentials make it easier for users to not only find information more quickly, but to make connections among disparate data. We are excited to bring this product into the next phase.”
Business Insights: Essentials contains all of the content and functionality found in Business and Company Resource Center, however the information is now organized on a more intuitive, user-friendly platform.
