“This recognition is a company milestone and validates our strategy in the marketplace,” said Claude Green, interim CEO, Factiva. “Factiva has been focused on partnering with customers to understand their unique information needs and has developed new solutions to help them be successful. We are pleased that this effort has paid off for Factiva, our customers and the publishers who fuel our products and services with first-class content.”
Since its founding in 1999, Factiva has recorded consistent growth while introducing a range of new products and services that meet the business information needs of enterprises worldwide. Factiva has continually broken new ground in business search.
