InsideView is in competition with companies like vacuum cleaners employing editorial teams to compile information on companies and contacts, but the challenge is no longer the same that when these companies were started, he said.

"Things happen in real time, and it is impossible for these publishers to follow." This is why InsideView uses technology. Lack of information on the company is no longer the issue - if anything, the question is rather, too much information "Milletti said." If the focus should be as much about to boil to the relevant core as well as on the collection of information, he said.
