Industry Data Overview

How does eCompetitors develop industry information; and how financially reliable is it?

We believe the Global Industry Dashboard is the best knowledgebase in the world in terms of strategically relevant industry and company information. However, it does not provide 100% financially reliable data because companies rarely publish financials at the true line-of-business level. We are not in the business of simply accessing and reformatting company provided data. Our information is developed by our industry analyst team which analyzes each and every company and manually enters the relevant industry and company information into our knowledgebase which is the foundation of the Global Industry Dashboard. The following chart highlights when we believe the Global Industry Dashboard best matches the customer need.

Customer Need	Global Industry Dashboard Focus?
Strategically relevant industry information using a new global taxonomy that analyzes "industries" at the correct level to perform a Michael Porter Five Forces industry analysis.	Yes
The best system to analyze companies in terms of the businesses (industries) they compete in.	Yes
An information source developed and maintained by industry analysts because it is understood that most companies themselves do not report information at the strategically relevant industry level.	Yes
A system that guarantees financially reliable data. These systems typically just access and reformat historical 10k company data, and then group companies into high-level industry sectors. Most of the financial information is at the corporate level. For example: they provide corporate revenue and corporate income data, as well as corporate financial ratios.	No
Information based primarily on (and usually restricted to) government-developed industry classification systems, such as SIC or NAICS or ISIC codes.	No
An information resource that uses the best information it can ethically obtain, including: > Company annual reports > 10K reports > Company press releases > Company websites > Primary and secondary human sources > General news reports, etc.	Yes
A new Global Industry Classification taxonomy that beats the heck out of NAICS codes and has the potential to become the de facto global industry classification standard because it is so well designed for practical use by line of business executives. > A complementary service to what traditional information vendors provide in terms of company financials and "industry sector" commentary.	Yes
