Generate, Inc.™, today announced the release of Generate G2™, a real-time business intelligence tool. Generate G2 delivers the next generation business intelligence platform that combines real-time events, customized company intelligence and patented relationship mapping (social networking) technology to deliver information to business professionals.

"Their BI product is actually an integrated research service that links together real time events, news, and information on companies and executives, along with relationships. It's kind of like LinkedIn, Hoovers and Lexus Nexus all integrated into one interface," said Beth Gold-Bernstein, ebizQ's Vice President of Strategic Services.

ebizQ received the following details:

Generate's G2 technology allows companies to gain a competitive advantage, maximize time, and increase employee efficiency and revenue by discovering, qualifying and connecting to targeted opportunities.

According to Outsell Inc., a market research and advisory company, time spent on information tasks is rising. Information task time now averages 13 hours per week, compared to 11 hours two years ago.1 The "infoglut" that is brought on by the web contributes to this problem and has created organizational inefficiencies resulting in reduced productivity. Organizations need help filtering this input while simultaneously receiving consistent, accurate, real-time and in-context intelligence about new opportunities, competitive threats and market events.

Generate's G2 solution identifies mission critical change events in real-time and alerts users of these targeted opportunities. Generate G2 qualifies leads and opportunities with current and comprehensive business intelligence on millions of companies and executives, saving employees time and increasing efficiency. Generate's personalization technology allows Generate G2 users to leverage patented relationship mapping (social networking) features to show the user how they are connected to executives, companies and events.

"We were looking for a solution that could dramatically impact the way we manage our customers and accelerate new opportunities." says Brad Humphries, leadership partner in the retail group at Accenture. "Generate's G2 solution does just that by providing actionable opportunities, in-context business information, and relationship mapping between the outside world and within and among the firm. Generate's technology allows our team to be more efficient and focus on creating value for our customers. In the end, that's what it's all about."
