history
In May 1999, Dow Jones and Reuters founded a joint venture called Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive, which bundled the archive products of the two companies. The company was renamed Factiva in November 1999.
Factiva developed modules in collaboration with Microsoft , Oracle Corp. , IBM and Yahoo! and cooperated with companies such as EuroSpider, Comintell, PeopleSoft , MediaMap, Biz360, ChoicePoint , BTRadianz, AtHoc and Reuters.
With the takeover of the British reputation and technology specialist 2B Reputation Intelligence Limited, Factiva built up the product line for media analysis in 2005. As part of Hill & Knowlton, 2B developed applications for media analysis and reputation management and had an expert pool of media and communication professionals.
In 2006, Reuters sold its 50 percent stake in Factiva to Dow Jones for the equivalent of 128 million euros. Factiva was integrated as a product line into Dow Jones' Enterprise Media Group.
As a product of Dow Jones, Factiva was integrated into Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation Company in 2007 .
