In addition to Company Discovery Pages, BSI released another feature called “Industry Discovery Pages”. This feature provides another, singular overview of the top industries in the world today. Each page includes an Industry Smart Panel that offers an overview of the target industry. Additionally, researchers will discover links to related companies, industry reports from leading providers, relevant articles, and more!
We are excited to introduce "Company Discovery Pages," a new feature in BSI designed to enhance your business research experience. This feature will provide comprehensive Company Discovery Pages for several thousand companies, consolidating various materials and artifacts into a single, intuitive view. Each page will include a Company Smart Panel which will include details such as headquarters, CEO, ticker number, employee count, and more when data is available. Additionally, researchers will see top competitors, industry reports, SWOT analyses, case studies, articles, videos, and more!
For those who previously used the Company Information portal in Classic BSI, the new Company Discovery Pages will serve as its enhanced successor, offering the same detailed company information with additional intuitive features. Please note that only the Company Smart Panel will be available in EBSCOhost.
EBSCO’s new Business Searching Interface (BSI) offers a clean, modern look to make business research more intuitive and efficient for Business Source subscribers. With improved navigation and a visually appealing design, the new BSI delivers a unique search experience. Students, faculty and researchers can easily browse leading business journals and magazines, search specific topics and easily locate country economic data, company profiles, industry information, and market research.
