Proactive Worldwide Moves into Secure, State-of-the-Art Office

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Competitive intelligence firm Proactive Worldwide, Inc. has moved into an expanded work space that features state-of-the-art security and research tools, in a beautiful yet functional setting. The new office is much larger and more flexible than the company’s previous space at the same Rolling Meadows, Illinois, address, and reflects the savvy, sophisticated research capabilities that have put the firm “out in front” in the CI industry.

In the designer foyer, the progressive and dynamic ambiance of the space is immediately evident, as is the focus on security of this fast-growing 12-year-old firm. With multi-level security cameras, motion sensors, as well as restricted keycard and biometric access, this competitive intelligence firm clearly takes protecting its clients’ intellectual capital seriously.

The expanded research floor, The Command Center, is where Proactive’s account teams execute project strategies and conduct much of their primary research. The energetic, newsroom atmosphere is purposefully augmented with interior design features that fill the inviting space with vibrant color, spacious work stations, and state-of-the-art communication systems and research tools. The space also is brought to life with the many team collaboration areas and several flat-screen televisions on the walls that feed news and information to staff around the clock.

Several Situation Rooms facilitate project strategization: these settings are where project managers and analysts develop and coordinate methodologies and customize step-by-step project plans for each assignment. These areas play an integral part in reviewing and synthesizing information during all phases of an engagement, to begin to flesh out as well as refine and polish the “story” as it begins to unfold from the streams of active intelligence pouring in from the Proactive Command Center.

Proactive’s Biometric-protected Intranet is the company’s high-tech nerve center, providing analysts with state-of-the-art research and analytical tools while ensuring unparalleled security to safeguard client confidentiality and proprietary information. In addition to the Internet and standard databases, Proactive’s ERP system, internally created databases for source identification and insight mining, and proprietary analytical tools are all available. Here analysts can create and enter data into clients’ password-protected project web sites.

The new space also offers a fully equipped Center of Excellence, an “all-hands-on-deck” training center for Proactive employees and a comfortable and functional space for Proactive’s CI Executive Summits. The training facility demonstrates Proactive’s commitment to continuous improvement through ongoing education for its employees and clients. The training center is the hub of Proactive University, the company’s year-round, in-house CI training curriculum.

Finally, in order to sustain optimum performance for world-class staff that works around the clock, Proactive’s new space also features a cyber café, equipped with coffeehouse music tracks, flat screen TVs, Wi-Fi connectivity, a foosball table and enough seating for informal, as well as company-wide, meetings. Near the café, a relaxation room offers a haven for employees to rest and recharge in fully expandable recliner chairs, with relaxing sound, temperature control, aromatherapy, and optional chair massages once a month.

With its state-of-the-art design and research functionality, Proactive’s new office reflects the company’s growth trajectory and ongoing commitment to its staff and to world-class project delivery for clients – putting Proactive “out in front” in the CI industry.
