Spotlight on Financial Services: What FreePint Customers are Using
Wednesday, 14th November 2012

By Fokkelien Fink

Abstract:

Many financial services firms have FreePint Subscriptions for education and awareness about the products, information habits and trends that will affect their information services. FreePint's Director of Research Robin Neidorf took a look at usage patterns of these firms to understand which FreePint Articles and Reports are most useful to them.

Article:

The financial industry is all about information. The databases and content available to license, management of risk and regulation, making information available to executives anytime and anywhere... these are all part of the information universe of a financial firm.

Financial services are amongst the most common industries of FreePint Subscription customers. I regularly review customer usage of all our articles and reports, and our Director of Research, Robin Neidorf, provides here an overview of those of interest to financial services customers.
