From the vendor:

By keeping up with the needs of business researchers worldwide, we have grown ABI/INFORM Complete into the world's most comprehensive and diverse business database. Not only has the number of journals available in active full text has more than doubled in 3 years, but we have also been adding a whole lot more based on feedback from business researchers into the types of content that is vital to their research. This means that ABI/INFORM Complete now has more of the information needed by business researchers than any other single source available.

All this is available on the intuitive and powerful ProQuest platform. This allows cross-searching with other ProQuest business resources as well as creation of RSS feeds, content alerts, Smart Search, article linking, and much more. The platform recently received 5 stars from the Charleston Advisor for interface and searchability.
