Real-time Delivery of News & Information Web Publishing Federal Legislative Tracking State Legislative Tracking Federal Register Public Officials Congressional Staff Information Alerts Citation List News and Information Sources Home Page Key Features: Real-time Delivery of News & Information Illumen captures real-time news and information from more than 7,500 sources (International, national, news wires, regional, local, and trade journals), essentially becoming your electronic briefing every morning and throughout the day so that you may proactively capture information versus reactively searching for it. Illumen uses categories, a personalized proactive capture of information as it is generated from our sources. A category can be anything from an issue (broad or specific), an entity, a person, a product, a piece of legislation or anything you can think of. Categories are built by the Illumen team to meet your specific requirements and understanding of a topic. A single user may have up to 1,000 categories and thus monitor an unlimited number of topics or break up larger issues into more specific topics. Web Publishing Illumen Web Publishing lets you automate the process of creating and delivering external news content to your Web site or Intranet. By designing a personalized news portal – specific to your issues and needs – Illumen Web Publishing will deliver news and information automatically inserted in your Web site or Intranet’s look-and-feel.
