>> Aeronautics & Defence
Groups specialising in aeronautics & defence have to deal with issues including production (facilities, products, outsourcing), commercial affairs (contracts, competitors), strategy (partners) and technology (R&D). This means that they need to follow market activities globally, in order to keep posted with rumours about the company itself, competitors' contracts and emerging activities, existing and potential prospects, the latest R&D, new products and programmes, strategic partnerships and global economic issues. However, because of this specific type of activity and because of the common link with military products and organisations, this type of organisation often needs to stay informed about budgetary votes and forecasts, major political activities, interactions and changes in critical countries, and about the evaluation of needs on a national and/or international scale.
> The web is the best media possible to gather news and articles easily “as they are published”, from both international and specialised sources on a wide array of topics. Indeed, clipping manually (from specialised sources in particular) would take too long and impair the quick delivery of vital news.
> Fed with different types of information sources (major newspapers and wires, specialised sources, competitors’ and governments’ websites), the LN Monitor service makes it quick and easy to select relevant news and create customised operational alerts/reports.
