Charm vs. Factiva

It's good to use Charm, when you wanted to have a secured way to communicate patients diagnosis or issues. It's less appropriate when it comes to booking experience. It's not customizable in the portal.

A large part of our work depends on the ability to source quality media content from a breadth of dependable sources globally. This is Factiva's bread and butter: it has a very comprehensive list of 'quality' media sources such as nationals, dailies, business journals and magazines from around the world that are easily mined for the content they hold. If you're thinking about anything other than these 'traditional' media sources then Factiva probably isn't your thing. It doesn't do social media.

• Factiva offers excellent search builders so that I am able to narrow my search to specific companies or topics very easily.
• Factiva combines a large number of credible sources into one place and allows me to search all of these sources.
• Factiva's use of timestamps helps me understand when the news was known by the market which allows me to analyze how (if at all) that particular piece of news impacted the company's stock price.
• Provides an excellent starting place for learning about a company and/or industry.

I gave a rating of 9 because it's actually serve it's purpose. Track patient records, appointments, and can communicate with clients. It's not a 10, because there's still room for improvement like with how we can manage emails.

We chose Charm because this is a tool you can use and serves as your one go to system. Instead of having 3 you can have just one.

At the time, Factiva was already being used by the company I worked for - they had developed procedures specifically for using Factiva, so there wasn't really an option. I've used Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg exclusively for legal research, so there wasn't really an overlap with Factiva.
