April 21, 2003—Agency Business Intelligence is a new service that presents government contractors with comprehensive information on federal government agency descriptions, yearly budgets, and competitive intelligence so the contractors can spend time responding to requests for proposals rather than doing research on government agencies.
ABI gives clients a single point of access to information to help them more quickly assess the size of their target markets. The service was released on April 15 by epipeline, an online source of federal, state, and local government contracting research, and Eagle Eye Publishers, a market research and consulting company.
Agency Business Intelligence will provide subscribers with a general overview of the mission, goals, and key people within government organizations. The service will also provide information on budgets for agencies to show business development professionals where money is flowing in the government. Detailed historical contract award information will help government contractors identify which companies are working with agencies on specific contracts.
Profiles will help subscribers easily compile comprehensive intelligence on agencies to help them track and respond to new government contract opportunities as well as to drill down into the main components of agency spending to identify spending trends, product needs, and specific contract targets.
The service will give government contractors in depth information (ready to use charts, graphs and hyper-links to contract information) on more than 50 civilian and defense agencies and bureaus in the Federal Government. Using the service, government contractors will be able track all contracts awarded by the government, including IT/Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (IT/C4I); Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC); Operations, Maintenance (O&M); and many others.
epipeline and Eagle Eye partnered in 2002 to provide its existing customer base with BDPro, a beginning-to-end analysis on past government procurement trends and future government contract opportunities. BDPro is a unique, three-way partnership between epipeline, Eagle Eye and Carroll Publishing. The service allows users single-sign-in access to epipeline’s government research, Eagle Eye’s database of historical federal prime contract data and Carroll Publishing’s online directory of government officials and procurement officers.
