Information is everywhere. The important difference is in what RWI offers: that is, Intelligence versus Information. We give our clients custom-built BI Systems operating from profiles and data sources specific to one's business or activities. Ongoing support in the access of such information includes state-of-the-art intelligent text retrieval. Training and assistance in analysis transforms raw information into intelligence in the form of strategic Alerts and Reports . Real Intelligence experts with Professional Credentials and a background in the field provide insight and direction.
To obtain "Real-World Intelligence" an analyst must be able to access and pervade the widest possible number of information sources and facilities, and then to discern the wheat from the chaff.
The Internet is only a means to an end. A vast network of raw data has opened itself up which we can all get on and make the most of. But remember that information is only as valuable as the context in which it can be evaluated. That is what we are dedicated to providing to our clients; a backdrop of context and relevance in which you can think about what is important.
The Solution: Accurate and timely intelligence is the surest guarantor of safety. Intelligence -- the ability to see clearly enough and far enough ahead to figure out what to do next -- is the key to survival in today's business environment. This means access to information about competitors, customers, suppliers, markets, and about those key trends in science, technology, economics, and politics directly relevant to the company and its strategic objectives.
It means the insight to understand how day-to-day, tactical information about competitors, customers, markets and so forth -- for instance, information about a competitor's forthcoming product line or new distribution channel, or a customer's intention to start doing business in Latin America or Asia -- relates to the larger trends in science, technology, economics and politics.
And it means the ability to harness this information to gain a competitive advantage -- to permeate and correlate the data, and by doing so to see looming dangers and seize emerging opportunities in the marketplace before they become apparent to everyone else.
The Service: Our primary RWI service is the custom built online Global Business Intelligence System, also referred to as the GBIS. A company BI System is accessed through Lookout Point, but operates from intelligence profiles and data sources specific to the business or activity.
Our intelligence experts start with on-site interviewing to create the company's unique Intelligence Profile. Ongoing support is provided in the acquisition of select information which is updated several times per week, and includes state-of-the-art intelligent text retrieval. Training and assistance transforms raw information into Intelligence in the form of strategic Alerts and Reports.

Business Intelligence (BI) Training Seminars
For companies that want to learn more about Business Intelligence, RWI
offers an in-house seminar conducted by Herbert E. Meyer, chairman of
RWI and author of the book Real-World Intelligence. In this
seminar, Mr. Meyer explains what Business Intelligence is, how this
new management tool has developed, how it works, and how companies
throughout the world are using Intelligence to achieve their
objectives. These seminars include an online demonstration of
Lookout Point .
We also offer the RWI Internet Seminar, for people who are new to the Internet or unfamiliar with its services, who don't know how to connect or what's important, or are just plain new to the idea of finding out what they need to know. All this available information and the tools for sifting through it can be intimidating, even where the Internet isn't part of the formula. We'll bring in our experts for a workshop which will help your group take advantage of today's wonderful opportunities.
