Summary

AT&T has set the bar on how to create an influential market intelligence organization.

The portal, which exposes topic-based alerts, competitive counterpoints, and forward-looking market analyses, is a highly used site that also helps the combined sales and marketing teams from classic SBC Communications and legacy AT&T get up to speed faster on products, competitive selling points, and industry news. Other market intelligence professionals can learn from AT&T's successful approach.
