Factiva's Factiva SalesWorks and Factiva Companies & Executives are products that ease access to global business intelligence. The products, to an extent, really allow salespeople lacking research training to gather the information needed about customers, executives, and industries. Resources that are the foundation of Factiva Saleswork and Factiva Companies & Executives allow access to company information from Reuters Fundamentals, Reuters Significant Developments, D&B's North American Million Dollar Database, D&B's International Million Dollar Database, BvDEP, Factiva content, Hoover's Basic Records and In-Depth Company Records, Thomson Financial Regulatory Filings from the SEC, Thomson Financial Investext Select Reports, Datamonitor Company Profiles of 10,000 U.S. companies, and Jobson's resources for New Zealand and Australian companies. Also included are Factiva products and industry information. Factiva offers the Factiva Developers Kit, which is an add-on application programming interface (API) that enterprises can use to integrate SalesWorks into a portal or intranet or into the many programs that companies may use for customer data maintenance, such as customer relationship management (CRM), sales force automation, sales relationship management, and supply chain management. Features for obtaining company, industry, news, and executive information are described. The prices are flat-fee subscriptions, and each regional package obtains data on all public companies globally. Even though the products are for non-information professionals, those users will probably want the help of a librarian and researchers for specific types of tasks.
