overview

ResearchMonitor (RM) is a modular solution that will help manage your external online database subscriptions as well as your internal intranets and knowledge base portals.

RM helps reduce your online data spend by allowing you to cancel or renegotiate underused database contracts. Using RM you can introduce and support a password free online research environment as well as ensure any or all research is tagged to valid matter, job, or deal codes. RM also provides a framework for implementing external charge back or internal cross charging of online research costs.
