InfoDesk Debuts New Editorial Services

Tarrytown, NY, May 31, 2011 - InfoDesk (www.infodesk.com) today announced its new Editorial Services Division that offers custom daily newsletters, briefings and special reports to corporate, government and association customers.  InfoDesk has put together a team of seasoned information professionals to publish custom daily newsletters, briefings and special reports.  The service is designed to meet the acute need for highly specialized daily information by corporations, government agencies and associations.

“Despite huge investments in content and technology, end users are buried in information options. What they are not getting is a succinct daily email that tells them what they need to know about their business,” said Lynn Epstein, COO of InfoDesk.

As outlined in a new InfoDesk White Paper about custom content, information professionals and users are clamoring for daily content that is:

> Created exclusively for the reader and focused on a single topic.

> Delivered to any computer or mobile device before the start of business.

> Comprehensive, covering all major news sources, niche publications and relevant multi-media and social media outlets.

> Easily digestible with headlines, quick summaries and links to full-text articles.

> Always on-point and not redundant.

“Cutbacks have left many information professionals short on staff and on time,” said Sterling Stites, President and CEO of InfoDesk. “Most large organizations simply cannot produce their own custom daily content,” he said, adding, “Unfortunately, that often leaves their employees to fend for themselves; ultimately costing these companies untold $ millions in wasted search time and missed opportunities.”

Other information services such as news clipping services, media monitoring companies and even some PR companies attempt to provide custom daily news. The difference with InfoDesk Editorial Services is the combination of its technology and a team of seasoned information professionals who selects relevant stories chosen from carefully screened sources.

InfoDesk also works with its clients to analyze their information needs and create a plan that defines their audience, list of sources, topics and keywords. The result is a living document that can be refined and adjusted to meet changing information or client needs.

Many information professionals in the life sciences industry and government find this service indispensible.  It has increased information usage dramatically by pushing the news that matters directly to hundreds and even thousands of daily email recipients. “These days there is so much out there competing for users attention, if you don’t tell people what to read, chances are they’ll never see it,” said Stites.

InfoDesk will release their new White Paper at the annual meeting of the Special Libraries Association (SLA) in Philadelphia, June 12-15. The White Paper is entitled “The New Rules of Custom Content for Information Professionals—How to Create Awesome (not Meh) News Alerts, Briefings and Newsletters.” To get a copy of the White Paper please visit the InfoDesk (Booth 1031) at SLA or contact Lynn Epstein at 914-332-5940 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

InfoDesk Wins SIIA CODiE Award for Best Business Information Resource

Tarrytown, NY, January 31, 2011 - InfoDesk Solutions, a product of InfoDesk, has been named the SIIA 2011 CODiE Award Winner for Best Business Information Resource. The award was presented to InfoDesk on January 25 at the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) Information Industry Summit in New York.

The CODiE Awards, which are in their 26th year, "recognize those companies providing the best new technology products and services across a broad array of industries," according to SIIA President Ken Wasch.

"We're thrilled," InfoDesk CEO Sterling Stites said on receiving the award, "We've never sought any industry recognition before."

InfoDesk Solutions integrate the broadest array of news, media and information resources on a single, federated, real-time platform that facilitates use, delivery and sharing of content. Advanced queries and custom taxonomies continuously filter and feed email alerts, briefings and newsletters and replicate content instantly to portals, intranets, widgets and other work flow tools.

Stites credited the win to InfoDesk’s firm commitment to remaining a “content neutral” technology company. “That’s how we have been able to build one of the largest, most responsive information provider networks in the industry. It’s our network, along with our technology solutions, that allows us to integrate more content resources faster and more cost effectively,” explained Stites.

“For our customers, who include a number of leading multinational corporations and top government agencies, InfoDesk Solutions have been a revelation,” said Stites. “Many of them had just gotten used to going to dozens of sources and web sites to find the information they need."

"With InfoDesk Solutions, that is no longer necessary. We provide true, one-stop information portals—that can run on their technology or ours— and we even deliver the information right to their users,” Stites added.

SIIA President called the awards "a prolific testament to the power of technology to deliver innovative solutions to businesses and consumers" adding that the innovation shown by the award winners and nominees, "is essential for continuing America's leadership in the global knowledge economy."

InfoDesk Releases Cloud Computing Solutions for the Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences Industries

Tarrytown, NY, April 9, 2010 - InfoDesk announced today that it will introduce its next generation "Cloud Computing" content management solutions for the pharmaceutical, biotech and life science industries on Sunday, April 11, at the Spring meeting in Philadelphia of the Pharmaceutical and Health Technology Division (P&HT) of the Special Libraries Association.

"Cloud Computing," also known as "Platform as a Service (PaaS)," can facilitate deployment of applications without the cost and complexity of buying and managing the underlying hardware and software layers.

Cloud Computing, is simply Web-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand.

"Few pharmaceutical companies have anywhere near the information staff or resources they need to manage their vast information resources effectively on their own and the job is only getting harder," said Lynn Epstein , COO at InfoDesk. "InfoDesk's 'cloud solutions' offer several affordable, off-the-shelf options that can dramatically ease their information integration and distribution burden," Epstein added.

Two of those solutions, InfoViewer and InfoWatch, allow clients to better keep tabs on all the latest life science industry news, including drug pipeline development, Food and Drug Administration regulation, mergers and acquisition, and the increasingly global competitive environment. Both solutions consolidate companies' premium and open-source content resources into a single stream of federated, filtered and easily searchable real-time content. Breakthrough taxonomy, publishing, Web interface and portal options help information professionals to service their entire organization's information needs better. Both InfoViewer andInfoWatch include a variety of useful tools such as automated email alerts and custom briefings, further enhancing awareness and decision making.

"By using InfoDesk, a task that had previously taken several hours each day can now be completed in a fraction of the time and in a manner that provides a better, more professional, and more useful product," said Helen Kourlas, Manager, Drug Information & Pharmacogenomics at Medco.

Catherine Wagner, an independent information consultant, said that InfoDesk products are both a time and money saver for both her and her clients.

"InfoDesk filters out a lot of the 'noise' so I can click on search strategies and get a refined list of information," Wagner said. "My clients know I'm using a premium service to get them the information they need so they don't have to wade through a lot of extraneous content."

Demonstrations and additional product information will be available from InfoDesk at the P&HT meeting (Bordeaux Room, Table 8). Or contact Sean Smith, Director of Marketing at 202-365-6832 or  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
