Factiva Will Not Use IBM’s WebFountain Technology
The Factiva and IBM partnership to use Big Blue’s WebFountain technology, big news in late 2003, is no more. According to the article, “‘The specific reason IBM was dropped is the timeliness of their content,’ said a Factiva spokesperson. “The rate of re-fresh was not even daily. With reputation management you need it to be timely, they had a lag.” Ryan Warren, manager of the office of the CEO, told IWR: “They weren’t developing at the speed we wanted.’ According to Factiva, IBM and Factiva have agreed that there are “more appropriate technologies” for reputation management.” Thanks to C.A. for the news tip.
