In 2004, CyberWatcher established a spin-off company that was to focus on corporate search - IntelliSearch. Today this is a privately listed company.
CyberWatcher was acquired in 2005 by a consortium of newspaper publishers. In addition, the global #1 cutting agency acquired the CyberWatcher technology platform.
However, CyberWatcher ventured into development of a new global search engine and a new monitoring platform - aiming at assisting other agencies and intelligence experts.
Based upon this strategy, CyberWatcher established Updatum in Scandinavia and acquired a small UK based agency to become Updatum Ltd.
This constituted the beginning of what was to become the first Pan-European partner network of monitoring experts which now includes experts and service providers in 15 countries throughout Europe.
In 2010, CyberWatcher launched its Risk Management service based upon news indicators. For this service CyberWatcher was awarded the European Gold Seal of e-Excellence.
