JEGI is the leading independent investment banking firm serving the Information sector, spanning providers of data and analytics for market, marketing and operational intelligence. JEGI has served a broad range of major business data and intelligence providers, emerging information companies, and private equity investors with an interest in data businesses. Business information embraces a very wide range of form and content, and each product, to be successful, must meet the highly specialized business needs of its target market. In most cases, business information is designed to help users take action: answer a question; find a company; judge a market opportunity; measure risk; etc. Information Products Becoming Part of Workflow Specialized business and market intelligence products are quickly becoming an integral part of users' workflow, delivered increasingly via the Internet. In particular, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) models, which are software solutions hosted on the Internet and usually accessed via a subscription model or on a pay-for-use basis, are growing rapidly, due to the ubiquity of broadband Internet and improved online security. Information Products Important to Integrated Media Model Business information products are an increasingly important part of the business mix for many diversified B2B media groups, which look to information products to drive revenues and improve the profit margins and enterprise valuations of their companies. Business information products often leverage content that can be repurposed across multiple media, further strengthening the publishers’ brand and market franchise. Global information companies have been actively pursuing revenue and profit growth by acquiring information products and services.
