Hi C.I. Joe: There are several very helpful CI applications reviews in the public domain. Ones that come to mind are done by Fuld & Company, another was done a few years ago by Arik Johnson at Aurora WDC, and there have been several articles devoted to this topic in the <i>CI Magazine</i>, JCIM, and other related publications. There is an excellent chapter (it is number 13) in my 2003 book <i>Controversies in Competitive Intelligence</i> (w/ D. Blenkhorn, Praeger) entitled "How can we determine which CI software is best?" written by Paul Nikkel that provides a model for assessing these applications. I would encourage you to look over these and see which ones meet you and your organisation's needs. Good wishes! Dr. Craig S. Fleisher
