How is Moreover different from syndicators and other information providers?

Syndicators and other types of information providers resell archived content, negotiating contracts with each publisher and, by definition, extending those contractual limitations to their relationships with customers. This practice significantly limits the speed with which they can deliver new information, the number and breadth of sources they can access and the ability to add new sources, quickly.

In contrast, Moreover is designed for the open architecture of the Internet, targeting the specific information customers need and providing real-time access to that information in the form of live headlines that link users to content on publishers' sites.

This allows Moreover to:

  1. Deliver new information as soon as it is published
  2. Extract information from virtually any source on the Internet, from mainstream news sources to niche industry sites, company websites and message boards
  3. Add any new online source within 24 hours
  4. Filter and categorize a customer's internal corporate content and deliver it alongside external information
  5. Customize solutions with unrivalled speed and flexibility
  6. Integrate into any system or platform in days, not weeks or months

Additionally, Moreover's 100% web-based solutions are more flexible and easier to integrate than any of the competition.

What can Moreover offer me that I can't get from a free news service?

Free news services are equipped to provide general consumer information like sports, weather and special interests. Moreover's expertise lies in harnessing the specific business information your company needs, from the broadest range of hard-to-reach and industry-specific sources on the Internet.

Moreover also adds value to the raw content by converting it to XML and enriching it with valuable metadata (such as time, source, source type, region, company ticker symbol, etc.) to enable complex categorization.
