Since the first studies (end of the sixtees) related to strategic planning, the need for organizations to build environmental scanning system or competitive intelligence system (CIS) are underlined. However "few organizations have truly integrated information into their strategies and planning processes in a substantive way" (Moon, Information Outlook February 2000). Many services, products and tools supply help for integrating information in the design and the execution of their competitive strategies. We focus on computerised competitive intelligence tools (CIT): how can we evaluate such tools in relation to the specific information need that is competitive intelligence (CI)? Fuld provide a review of CI software (Fuld, 2000). In the poster, we present the results of this enquiry which is a part of a project supported by the French department of scientific research related to computerized competitive intelligence tools (CCIT) on the Internet. We will define the specificity of CCIT and suggest an evaluation methodology of such tools.
