Researching
Ideas we’re actively exploring
(30% will be built)
NEW FEATURE
Role-based personalisation
Enable publishers to increase content engagement by tailoring views of content based on the persona or role of end-users. Category trees, recommended content, and custom tabs will all have functionality that allows them to be configured on a per-user basis, allowing for persona-based personalisation.
ENHANCEMENT
Increase Selling Opportunities
Explore ways of diversifying publishers’ commercial touchpoints with end-users. Increasing commercial opportunities will increase per account value and enable publishers to sell research content in an increasingly fluid, diverse way.
ENHANCEMENT
Frictionless subscriber to analyst communication
Enhance the ‘Ask the Analyst’ feature to become a powerful lead gen tool for consulting/advisory contracts and a relationship building tool with clients. Current development ideas include CRM integrations for more streamlined inbound enquiry management and increased numbers of in-platform touchpoints for subscriber-analyst enquiries.
Scoping
Ideas that made it to the design phase

ENHANCEMENT
Subscriber usage insights for Account Managers
Analytics developments will better equip account managers and customer success teams with clear, accessible subscriber usage insight. With the development of intuitive, customisable dashboards, target setting, alerts for noteworthy account activity and CRM integrations, these analytics enhancements will allow account managers to be more proactive throughout the subscriber lifecycle.

ENHANCEMENT
Better content and product notifications for subscribers
Reduce manual work for publishers by automating subscriber notifications when new products are released.
