A business information and research tool that gets information from licensed and free sources and provides capabilities such as searching, alerting, dissemination, and business information management.

• A. Factiva
• B. Censys
• C. LexisNexis
• D. The Wall Street Transcript

Answer: (A)

Factiva is a business information and research platform that collects content from licensed publishers and free sources, giving you broad access to global news, industry reports, and company information. It excels at searching across these sources to pull up relevant articles and data, and it supports alerting so you can be notified about new information on topics you care about. It also includes dissemination and collaboration features, letting you share findings with others and organize information in a way that supports business information management (such as folders, clips, and workspaces). This combination of licensed content, wide coverage, and workflow-focused tools matches the description of a tool that provides searching, alerting, dissemination, and management of business information. Censys focuses on security research of internet-facing devices, LexisNexis is a broader legal and business research database, and The Wall Street Transcript is a publication, not a comprehensive business information platform with these exact workflow features.
