The Business Intelligence Center can be accessed under the newly renamed Business Intelligence tab (formerly known as Companies & Markets) on Bloomberg Law or directly from the Home Page.
The Business Intelligence Center provides access to all of the same business development and competitive intelligence resources previously available on Bloomberg Law, including:
- 5+ million Company Profiles
- Deal Analytics
- Company Report Writer
- EDGAR filings
- Company Screener
- Bloomberg Briefs
- People Search
- Bloomberg League Tables
- Company Watch list
- Law Firm Client Memos
- Litigation Analytics
- Social Velocity Alerts
- Breaking Complaints
- Big Law Business
- Dockets
- Bloomberg Gadfly
Additionally, the Business Intelligence Center offers users the ability to create an unlimited number of fully custom Dashboards populated with the tools and searches they choose.
Dashboards can be created from scratch or by starting with pre-made Template dashboards.
Templates put all of the Bloomberg Law searches and tools available to perform a specific business development or company intelligence task or practice-area research on a single page. Templates also include guidance on how the information can be used for the task in question.
Users can input the company, industry or other available fields over which to run the searches included on the Templates.
Users can then save each Template as a new custom Dashboard and edit it further themselves. This provides the ability to remove, add and move tiles, as well as change the different search criteria.
When creating a Dashboard from scratch, users can add any number of individual tiles to a blank Dashboard. Tiles display results for different types of searches available on Bloomberg Law. Currently available search-based tile types include News, Dockets, EDGAR, EDGAR 10-K Risk Factors, Law Reports and Company Screener.
In addition, users can add notes to their Dashboards using a Notes tile. Text and links can be inputted and saved directly to the Notes tile.
Users can also name their Dashboards and share them by email with any Bloomberg Law user at their organization.
Dashboards are refreshed automatically, so the most up-to-date results will always appear first.
