Welcome to My Blog
From the Hart is a blog about the business information industry written by myself, Clare Hart, CEO, Factiva.
Business information is inextricably linked to technology. Whether it is RSS, mobile or technology used to integrate content into an enterprise application such as a CRM system, information is most powerful when it is relevant and easy to access.
As the CEO of Factiva, I work with clients and partners from many different industries and geographic regions and something that strikes me every time I meet with clients is how similar we are – regardless of industry or region – when it comes to managing information. We want to be able to present businesspeople with information they need when and where they need it. This sounds so cliché, I know, but that is what Factiva does.
In this blog, I am going to write about what I see happening in the world of enterprise information management. How are enterprises managing the ever increasing volume of information, which includes mainstream media sources, web content, including blogs and internal content?
In order to keep this blog interesting, it would be great if you send me your feedback about posts and your thoughts about what you would like to see in the future.
As a shareholder in Reuters, a 50% owner of Factiva, I wondered if you'd be saying anything on your blog that gives an indication of the performance of Factiva. It is always useful to know that information affecting a publicly traded company can be discovered on the back allies of the Internet.
Thanks for running this private service for uninformed investors.

Clare,
I think it's great you have decided to blog your thoughts. I hope you get as much out of connecting with your audience as your audience will get out of reading and connecting with you.
You asked for 'feedback'. My only observation is that the two posts I've seen so far have been a little on the short side and high-level.
I know you/Factiva charge for consultancy, but if you can find the fine line that satisfies your expert audience I think this will become an amazing blog!
Best of luck,
Ben

I reviewed the beta search engine. I don't like it at all. I believe it was not well thought out. Change is good when well thought-out but when it is done for the sake of change it usually results in a worse product and/or process as is the case with the beta search engine. I will not be a user of the new system.
