Factiva®, the leading global provider of digital business content and services to the enterprise, and NewsGator Technologies, Inc., the leading RSS software platform company, today announced an agreement to jointly release Enterprise RSS that will bring the first business RSS solution to corporate users around the world.
The agreement will allow all existing Factiva customers to access their Factiva content via the NewsGator online and NewsGator Microsoft Outlook RSS readers at no additional charge to their existing Factiva contracts.. Factiva content will also be available in NewsGator premium products at an additional charge. Further, the companies announced that they are working together on other opportunities in the growing enterprise RSS space.
J.B. Holston, CEO and president of NewsGator, said, “The combination of Factiva’s breadth and depth of authoritative content combined with NewsGator’s sophisticated RSS platform delivers an unmatched business intelligence solution. Business people who aren’t yet Factiva customers can subscribe to Factiva content and view it via their NewsGator reader. This is the most powerful possible combination of content and RSS technology possible.”
Clare Hart, president and CEO of Factiva, said, “Our customers are increasingly using RSS feeds in their enterprises, and we believe it will be an important delivery option for our users. This effort with NewsGator underscores our commitment to embrace the best and most innovative technologies for delivering the right information at the right time and in the right format.”
