Semaphore BIP: Benefits

The New Way of Working (The New WoW) enabled by Semaphore BIP will transform your information experience:

The user

  • The New WoW simplifies and speeds up your core research process. Client engagement has shown that the Semaphore BIP based solution reduces the time spent on core research by 80% on average. Since typically this makes up 70% of all research, the time savings are huge.
  • Information users will no longer have to learn to work with different information sources.
  • They will have full control over the core information they get and the money they spend. They will no longer have to worry about multiple usernames and passwords.

The information professional team (BIS)

  • It frees up the information professional’s time to support their customers in their non-standard information needs. This enables them to increase their value to the business to the satisfaction of all involved.
  • Substantial cost is saved by increased control over the access and licensing of information and improved visibility over information usage – experience shows that this can be in excess of £ 500,000 per annum.
  • Greater transparency of cost can be used for supplier negotiation and client billing purposes. Passing on the cost of information to external clients, where possible, at one middle-sized bank saves close to £ 200,000 per annum
  • Our approach, with a starter and customisable package, makes sure that you have full control over budget, risk and implementation time. This means that we maximise the opportunity to create a solution that exactly meets your needs.
