e-competitive intelligence


Explanation:
Or "competitive e-intelligence".

At any rate I like to add "competitive" in these cases.

I take it you've checked out the by-now many instances of "veille" (technologique, etc.) here.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Rachel. I think my customer was using "website change detection" and "Web Clippings", as mentioned in that wikipedia ref, though I'm sure a lot of people would be tracking competitors' sites.
