Northern Light Adds 'QuickBoards' Feature

In the US, knowledge management platform Northern Light has added a feature called 'QuickBoards' to its SinglePoint suite of MR portals, enabling any user to create a topical market or competitive intelligence research dashboard in seconds.

The company has been operating its portals under the SinglePoint brand name since 1998, giving clients access to internal, external and licensed market intelligence with one login, one search and one results page. The new QuickBoards feature converts search results for all primary and secondary research content within the SinglePoint portal with just a few clicks into a visual display of the most significant findings.

Every time a user opens a QuickBoard, the content is refreshed, the most relevant documents featured most prominently. CEO C. David Seuss (pictured) comments: 'QuickBoards are an extremely convenient way for competitive intelligence professionals to quickly respond to requests from executives and other professionals for intelligence on a given topic. They're essentially instant sharable dashboards, which can be assembled in less than one minute versus two hours for custom curated dashboards. They're perfect for time-sensitive requests, and easy enough for an end user to create for him or herself'.
