Companies have traditionally lacked a good way to get insight into their markets. They’ve relied on research firms and internal teams to gather competitive intelligence manually, despite the time-consuming effort that left little time to analyze and act on that research. The explosion of online data combined with AI-powered technology paves the way to gather competitive intelligence programmatically and help companies extract actionable insights in ways that were previously impossible.

This session will dive into the actionable insights you can gather using competitive intelligence technology and how to establish an impactful CI program for your business.
