Today, there is fierce competition in every market. With lean organizations, few companies have the resources to devote adequate coverage to competitive intelligence. Therefore as product managers prepare marketing plans and sales people prepare proposals, they are entering their field of battle without full knowledge of their enemy.

Your own experiences echo the lessons of Sun Tzu. You no doubt have examples of lost opportunity based on being outmaneuvered by your competition. Few times has a product manager or a sales person spoke the words, "I just have too much actionable competitive information."

Although it may be true that the information exists, it is time consuming and tedious to forage through your competitors websites and read the many industry newsletters. To be effective, competitive information needs to be relevant to you, delivered timely, and available in a central source to reference when you need it.
