Through the new S&P Capital IQ app, Salesforce users can access global company profiles, including business descriptions; number of employees; names of competitors, subsidiaries and direct investments; background on key executives and board members; company financial data; key development information such as company announcements and transactions and more. In addition, subscribers can search by keywords, company names, executive names and titles, or by setting parameters for geography, industry, revenue or other categories of interest.
