EBizPort - Business Intelligence Portal
Introduction
To make good decisions, businesses try to gather good intelligence information. Yet managing large quantities of unstructured information and data stand in the way of greater business knowledge. Effective tools for increasing business intelligence used to access relevant content, in different formats must include analysis tools for searching, browsing, and summarization. Useful business intelligence content needs to be credible, timely, and relevant. We created eBizPort to facilitate the process of acquiring business intelligence in the Information Technology industry. The eBizPort contains content from the leading news and commentary providers in the IT domain, which was collected using a new vertical collection-building technique. We have integrated a number of post-retrieval tools to support browsing and investigate techniques to overcome information overload.
