As the volume of digital information expands exponentially, knowledge-based businesses are looking for new ways to help their professionals keep up.  The solution combines AI technology from Thomson Reuters to extract important business insights from large volumes of data with   ModuleQ’s AI, which maps business insights to the fast-changing priorities of individual professionals.  Integrated, these technologies are designed to provide insights automatically tailored to reflect the current business priorities of each professional, enriched with financial information from Thomson Reuters.
