New Interface Provides Increased Access to Tools and Databases on One Platform, Improving Research Outcomes for Students, Researchers and Faculty
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gale, part of a Cengage Group, today announced the migration of its Business Insight platforms – Gale Business Insights: Essentials and Gale Business Insights: Global – to a single new and improved all-in-one platform, Gale Business: Insights. With enhanced navigation and collaboration tools, business professionals, entrepreneurs, students and researchers can spend less time searching and more time turning their findings into practical applications. Developed based on user feedback, this new platform supports usability and accessibility with a single database that encompasses the global nature of business.
"Business researchers need instant access to reliable, comprehensive data and the tools to analyze and interpret the information on a single platform," said Seth Cayley, vice president of global academic product at Gale. "Gale Business: Insights' new interface was designed with extensive input from students, librarians and business professors throughout the process to ensure easy access to the desired information. The updates we have made to this platform make it an invaluable source for compiling business intelligence."
Gale Business: Insights combines Gale reference content with respected business sources and full-text periodicals to help researchers gain a broader understanding of the global nature of today's business world. In addition, users can access daily updates, more than 450,000 detailed company profiles, and in-depth country and industry overviews.
Key capabilities and enhancements include:
- Enhanced Navigation: Users can easily access information with additional context and pathways for a deeper understanding of complex business concepts. Gale Business: Insights presents company, industry and country content in hubs designed by and for business students. Deep links help researchers navigate through the extensive content available in the product.

- Financial Dashboard: Multiple reporting periods can be viewed for corporate balance sheets, cash flow and income statements. Users can compare results against other selected companies and export the results to Excel.
With the new interface, users will continue to have access to the same Gale and third-party content, including:
