Competitor Briefings
The Competitor Briefing, shown in Figure 4, helps employees stay informed by gathering information about competitors. It provides users with current market information, product information, company information, a list of corporate affiliations, and access to related literature from the Siebel Encyclopedia.
Users access Competitor Briefings using one of the two following views:
- My Tracked Competitors. This view shows the accounts selected by users in their tracking profiles.
- All Competitors. This view shows accounts to which the user has access based on visibility rules.
