Bookshelf v7.5: Company Briefings

Siebel eContent Services publishes a database of thousands of public and private companies. Users can get Company Briefings for any of these companies using the Company Search form on the home page, as shown in Figure 5. When a user initiates a query in the Company Search form by specifying company name and search type criteria, matching records from the Siebel eContent Company Database appear in the Search Results section with links to Company Briefings. This allows users to gather information about organizations that are competitors or accounts.

After the query results are returned, the user can click the name of a company, and a Company Briefing appears, as shown in Figure 6. Company Briefings provide external information about the company (such as news, a company profile, information about corporate affiliates, and links to additional information on the Internet).
