• Broaden Distribution Reach- increase the number of third parties you distribute research to, without increasing production and overhead costs

• Increase Readership- better, more consistent indexing of your research increases the chance a fund manager will read it.

• As a Backup System - for larger firms, protect your research distribution by using Research Administrator as a cost effective backup publishing system.

Research Administrator greatly reduces the effort required in the indexing and contribution process. The customizable Indexing is accurate, consistent, and comprehensive. Publications can be created with multiple document attachments. They can be prepared in advance and scheduled for simultaneous release to all vendors.

RA for Microsoft Word™ uploads finished research documents directly from the analyst’s desktop to Research Administrator. By pre-indexing the document with the abstract and keywords the analyst has complete control over the way the document is presented to third party vendors, while increasing the productivity of the production department. Adobe PDF conversion from Microsoft Word™ occurs automatically.

RA for Microsoft Excel™ uploads estimate forecasts created in Microsoft Excel™ to the Research Administrator earnings database. Estimates are automatically published to third party vendors when relevant research is written, or through pre-scheduled estimate publications. Analysts working in their familiar Excel environment can save estimates directly from their earnings models. The requirement for an administrator to maintain this data separately is eliminated. The most current EDGAR Online™ historical data and your proprietary estimates are accessible all your employees.

RA Automated Services is a suite of Web Services which provides full programmatic access to Research Administrator. These enable Research Administrator to be used as a component in an integrated end-to-end authoring and compliance solution, or as a hot-backup for larger firms with an existing publishing solution.
