SinglePoint Strategic Research Portal

Northern Light can provide your organization with a singlepoint of access to all of your company’s research.

SinglePoint is a custom, turnkey, hosted strategic research portal that can be deployed in 90 days to an unlimited number of users around the world.

A typical SinglePoint Strategic Research Portal contains one or more repositories of internal primary research, dozens of licensed external secondary research sources, business news, financial analyst reports, government databases, and content from custom Web crawls.

SinglePoint facilitates searching such a vast, broadly-sourced repository of high-quality research in a single user session, with one search query, one login, mastering only one user interface, and with one integrated, consistently-ranked set of search results from every content provider.

Northern Light is technically integrated with over 90 market research analyst firms and technical research publishers as part of the SinglePoint solution. As these research firms publish content to their own repositories, they simultaneously publish it to ours so we can index the full text for our clients. This is not "federated search," which produces a low-quality user experience; it is "integrated search," being produced by indexing the original full-text of the each document for the cross-source integrated index.

For an overview see this SinglePoint solutions diagram. SinglePoint includes these components. View a sample SinglePoint integrated search result.

On average, SinglePoint portals annually return more than ten times their costs in savings. See our whitepaper on strategic research portal ROI considerations.
