Serial Entrepreneur Jim Fowler to Speak at DataContent

Meet a well-armed data publisher, Jim Fowler of InfoArmy.

A two-time winner of the InfoCommerce Model of Excellence, Jim will be speaking at DataContent. His mission will be to explain how he plans to use InfoArmy to revolutionize market research just as successfully as he revolutionized lead generation with Jigsaw.

Jim has joined our Excellence in Action session, during which he’ll take us behind the lines of his new launch to show how he’s building a global network of independent researchers to develop and regularly update detailed competitive intelligence reports on every strategically important company on the planet, and in multiple languages.

Jim will also explain how crowdsourced competitive intelligence can take public data well beyond a simple aggregation effort. What sets InfoArmy apart is both its tweaks to the traditional crowd-source model, and the depth and currency of the information it is collecting, and Jim can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Jim Fowler, Founder & CEO, InfoArmy

“Currently, if you want to learn about the competitive landscape for a particular company you must do it yourself. With an InfoArmy competitive intelligence report, however, you can learn in 2 minutes what would have taken 2 days to find on your own.  Simply pull out your iPad as you walk to a meeting or pick up a client phone call and quickly drill down to exactly the information you need. We believe this ability will be invaluable to a wide range of professionals, including financial services firms, executives, and marketing teams.

Other company profiles are often static, whereas InfoArmy reports are updated every quarter. This change in the data is one of the things that makes our reports so valuable because it allows for trend analysis on everything from leadership changes to revenue estimates to website design.

We also understand that data is far more useful when seen in context. InfoArmy reports present the company in the context of its competitive landscape. Our reports pull data from the reports of competitors and allow for direct and immediate comparison. The reports are each created by a team of two researchers, and all of the data are hand-collected and hand-verified.

Our model of crowdsourced competitive intelligence is brand new, and our ambitious goal is to cover every strategically important company on the planet, in multiple languages. In doing so, we aim to recruit an army of disciplined researchers who are able to make a living by creating reports.”

Join Jim and close to 200 data producers gathering at DataContent to explore the intersection of Data, Communities, and Markets.

Our sessions go beyond the data hype—we’re assembling the people advancing, transforming, and disrupting the industry to give you straight talk on why the data business is the hottest segment of the information industry and why it will continue to grow.

At DataContent, you’ll get a clear understanding of where data fits in your future. Most importantly, you’ll leave with an understanding of the trends that are the most profitable AND the contacts and know-how to incorporate them into your own business.
