KB Crawl SAS opens London office to expand Competitive Intelligence expertise to UK clients

KB Crawl SAS, a leading web monitoring software provider today announces the opening of its London office. The move is prompted by growing demand for the firm’s applications which helps companies and information professionals to monitor electronic information flows, including websites, blogs, emails and documents.

The opening of the London office continues KB Crawl SAS commitment to deliver outstanding service to its customers in the British Isles. This is part of the firm’s international strategy aimed at addressing the growing need for web monitoring software.

Bruno Etienne, founder and Managing Director of KB Crawl SAS commented: “KB Crawl’s growth has always been the result of close working relationships with our clients and a deep understanding of their current and future needs. We’ve had a lot of interest from clients in the UK because KB Crawl offers a cost-effective tool that keeps them abreast of new developments affecting their markets.”

The KB Crawl suite of web monitoring applications includes modules for monitoring specific areas within web pages, for importing and exporting data, for emailing alerts, for recording browsing habits and for detecting keywords in picture files. These functionalities make KB Crawl a critical tool for professionals tasked with monitoring industry developments and competitive analysis.

“Many products on the market are either too basic and ineffective or are very expensive to purchase and maintain. KB Crawl has a low cost of ownership. It is powerful and customisable so information professionals can save time while KB Crawl’s ability to monitor the ‘hidden web’ means webpages requiring login and password, search engine and databases results can also be monitored” said Bruno Etienne.

KB Crawl is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Jansons as UK Country Manager. Julien Flandrois, Global Head of Sales, commented: “I am really pleased Mark joined us to expand our business in the UK. Mark has a wealth of experience in building relationships and delivering outstanding customer service.”

Small and medium size companies are not typically carrying out Competitive Intelligence analysis in a systematic and regular manner. Often, they think it is the preserve of multinational or they perceive the lack of time or budget as the main issue. However, KB Crawl is a solution with a low cost of ownership that can be deployed on the desktop in only a few hours and works independently to deliver regular updates.

KB Crawl SAS will exhibit at IMS-Online in London, 2-4 December 2008, see www.ims-show.co.uk
