Actionable intelligence to inform your most critical decisions
Your strategy, powered by Corporate Intelligence
Mitigating threats, handling crises, facilitating growth strategies, optimizing emerging opportunities and competing effectively have one thing in common: the need for high-quality, up-to-the-minute information.
We’re here to help. Using proven open-source techniques — supercharged by AI — PwC’s Corporate Intelligence professionals identify “digital fingerprints” in the public domain that yield actionable intelligence and insights to support management’s decision-making.
Our multilingual research analysts draw on technology-enabled capabilities to access millions of publicly available information sources from around the world — from traditional and social media to public records to sanctions/watch lists to industry relationships to the non-indexed web and so much more. And, where appropriate, our professionals activate human source networks to gain unique insights.
We have leading edge and scalable technology solutions that can empower your organization to put your strategy into action. Leaders are empowered to make better decisions when they have immediate access to relevant, up-to-date, reliable intelligence. How can PwC help you?
