We all know that we are living in the information age. There is so much information available that it is very difficult to find and extract relevant, valuable knowledge about important aspects of our business.
Nautilus Systems' Strengths in Competitive Intelligence
Nautilus Systems' strengths in competitive intelligence are derived from our experience in three areas:
Intelligence and Business Data Collection
Very Large Databases, Networks and Communications, and Geographic Information Systems, which permit matching and combining data from diverse sources,
Advanced Artificial Intelligence Techniques, including neural networks, which are used to identify patterns and trends not previously anticipated.
For example, we use On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools to analyze and compare data across multiple dimensions, as opposed to traditional executive information systems which view data in a predetermined fashion. We also may know of or uncover additional information that, when combined with information a company already has, yields new insights.
It is pardonable to be defeated, but never to be surprised.
