What are alerts in Business Radar?
Alerts is the continuous adverse media monitoring solution in Business Radar. You can choose how to set up your alerts so that you are informed about what matters most to your business. Alerts are sent to you via email.
Alerts can be set up based on predefined filters, which may include legal or financial issues such as antitrust cases, money laundering, or tax evasion. To use the alert function efficiently, it helps to regularly monitor whether the alerts you’re receiving are helpful and adjust them to ensure they inform you about exactly what you need to know.
Why are they important?
Alerts are crucial because they provide timely, relevant information, helping you stay on top of important developments related to your ecosystem.
Effectively setting up alerts allows you to filter through large volumes of data and focus on the insights that matter most, avoiding information overload. This can significantly impact business decisions by flagging critical legal or financial issues.
