News and sales leads delivered to on-the-go executives and sales professionals on mobile devices.
New York, NY & London, UK (PRWEB) September 29, 2005 -- Factiva®, a Dow Jones and Reuters Company, today announced that its Wireless Beta program, "Factiva Mobile," is now available to all customers leveraging Factiva.com, Factiva SalesWorksSM and Factiva Companies & ExecutivesSM. It will provide time-pressed, mobile executives with access to business news and company information that will help them to more effectively prepare for sales calls, meetings, and business planning, anytime and anywhere.
"As Factiva continues to provide information where, when, and how our customers need it, mobile delivery has become an important part of our vision," said Alan Scott, chief marketing officer at Factiva. "The capabilities offered by Factiva truly give executives a competitive edge by arming them with the most current facts about their customers, prospects, competitors and markets."
Compatible with BlackBerry® devices, Factiva Mobile for Factiva SalesWorks and Factiva Companies & Executives delivers snapshots of key information for more than 1.5 million companies worldwide, including company news, financials, contact details, executive lists, stock quotes, and more.
Sales executives using Factiva SalesWorks will be able to gain current information about a customer or a prospect up to the moment they enter their contact's office. "C-level executives value sales people that have that level of preparation and understanding of their business," Mr. Scott said.
All Factiva.com users will have the option to deliver news updates from their Track folders to a mobile device. Track is a current awareness service that delivers relevant news based on news tracking statements set up by each user. By selecting "Mobile" for e-mail format, they will receive plain text email delivery, specifically formatted for their mobile device. While Track updates have been delivered to mobile devices for years, this new option to retrieve stories from headlines provides a cleaner, tighter format that will visibly improve the user experience.
In addition, Factiva is working to improve the overall user experience for mobile users. Through its "de-duplication" Beta, Factiva will enable customers to eliminate identical or similar articles delivered to their BlackBerry. By eliminating multiple versions of the same article, this Beta addresses a frequent concern of mobile customers who need to manage incoming information in a limited viewing environment.
