Gartner defines analytics and business intelligence platforms (ABI) as those that enable organizations to model, analyze and visualize data to support informed decision making and value creation. These platforms facilitate the preparation of data and the creation of interactive dashboards, reports and visualizations to uncover patterns, predict trends and optimize operations. By doing so, they empower users to collaborate and effectively communicate the dimensions and measures that drive their organization. The platforms may also optionally include the ability to create, modify or enrich a semantic model, including business rules. Analytics and business intelligence platforms integrate data from multiple sources, such as databases, spreadsheets, cloud services and external data feeds, to provide a unified view of data, breaking down silos and transforming raw data into meaningful insights. They also allow users to clean, transform and prepare data for analysis, in addition to creating data models that define relationships between different data entities.
Competitive and market intelligence tools allow organizations to track, collect, store, analyze and disseminate information and insights — collected from internal and external sources — about competitors, markets and customers. These sources include, but are not limited to, news, social media, websites, industry databases, syndicated research and financial filings. These tools provide a centralized platform for all market and competitive intelligence, which can be used by a range of stakeholders within an organization for their specific needs (e.g., corporate strategy, product strategy, differentiated messaging or sales enablement).
Gartner defines search engine optimization (SEO) as the practice of optimizing owned websites and their content to engage qualified traffic and improve placement on search engine results pages (SERPs). SEO analyzes the nature and intent of searches to deliver highly relevant search results and an enhanced user experience. SEO platforms offer tiered subscriptions for access to a comprehensive solution with on-site, off-site and technical SEO capabilities including traffic analysis, competitor insight, link building and content evaluation. They are typically made accessible to users through cloud-based software backed with proprietary and machine learning insights.

It provides access to comprehensive legal databases, case laws, statutes, regulations, legal journals, and other legal resources, as well as tools for searching, filtering, and citing legal documents to help users refine their queries and find precise results. It also integrates with other legal tools and platforms such as case and document management systems and legal writing sofware, which allows for seamless transfer of information and enhances overall productivity. All in all, Legal Research Software helps lawyers and legal researchers find relevant legal information to support their legal arguments, stay updated on legal developments, and make informed decisions.
