The velocity of content sharing is accelerating

Is your firm keeping pace?

Content sharing is at the heart of your business.

From market data and industry news to investment trends and legislative reform, sharing content is essential in financial services as it influences collaboration and strategy, and speeds up response time to customers.

And work-related content sharing by financial professionals is on the rise – nearly five times greater than in 2016.*

To better understand this increased “velocity of content,” analyst firm Outsell, Inc., the voice of the data and information industry, recently completed its Information Seeking, Consumption and Use Survey in partnership with Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC).

Here are some ways financial professionals share information

1 Storing reports on market conditions on collaboration sites and sharing with employees to make critical decisions about business

2 Embedding a PDF version of a recent newspaper article about regulatory changes into the corporate newsletter for distribution to internal staff

3 Excerpting current research from a financial journal into a presentation for a client meeting

4 Hosting select documents on SharePoint or other collaboration applications, including news articles, published literature, press releases, and other materials for competitive analysis

5 Storing select published content to substantiate claims made in promotional materials in the same system used to develop, manage and approve marketing content

Respecting copyright is an important aspect of getting high-quality information. By obtaining the appropriate licenses and permissions, employees may share content from the most valued journals, blogs, news publications, and more, among trusted colleagues.  However, not everyone understands copyright, why it is so important or how to best manage compliance.
