Trial of GlobalData Explorer

We currently have a short trial to GlobalData Explorer, which is a new enhanced version of Disruptor and MarketLine. To find it, go into either Disruptor or Marketline and then look for the Switch Intelligence Center link to get to the higher level menu. You can choose Explorer there. It has a similar interface to Disruptor but significantly more content.
