The AI PLATFORM for External Affairs
Never wonder if your third party partners are moving the needle. Get the maximum impact from every single relationship with External View, the AI platform for external affairs.
You know that your partner activity is valuable. But there wasn't a way measure and maximize that value. Now there is. External View lets you see all partner activity in one place, measure ROI on external spend beyond gut feel, and discover new partners outside your existing networks.
Your team spends hours each week compiling partner activity from emails, reports, and consultant calls — time better spent on strategy.
When leadership asks for a fast answer or a crisis hits, you don't have a single source of truth on where your partners stand.
You invest in trade associations and coalitions every year. But at budget season, you're defending spend on faith, not data.
The right coalition partner, the right local ally — they're out there. But finding them still relies on who you already know.
A live view of every partner — their activity, spend, alignment, and signals — all in one auditable platform.
