For ProQuest One Business ProQuest developed a new business subject thesaurus as well as a new corporation thesaurus. All documents included in this collection were reindexed, using these new thesauri. In addition, all company, industry and country reports were reindexed allowing you to limit your search to specific content that must appear in the reports like e.g. a SWOT analysis or a financial forecast. This makes it significantly easier to get more precise and relevant results. The new indexing is currently only available via ProQuest One Business.
For several thousand companies ProQuest One Business offers special portal pages - so called Company Overviews - and each of these pages provides you with direct access to different types of material for the respective company:
How to find Company Overviews is explained in this section on the Unique Features page.
Example:
ProQuest One Business contains over 200,000 company reports from such well-respected providers like e.g. Acquisdata Pty Ltd, GlobalData PLC, Mergent or Plunckett Research Ltd. Depending on the provider and the report series these reports vary in focus and length: They can be short company snapshots, deliver detailed financial data, discuss stock market performance or provide a SWOT analysis - or even combine all of it in one report.
How to find such reports is explained in this section under Unique Features.
