A complete Web Disclosure solution for regulatory news announcements has been introduced by Thomson (News – Alert) Reuters.
New paradigm for press releases is created by Web Disclosure by empowering companies to meet regulatory disclosure requirements through a robust Web-based solution that allows them to communicate with and solicit feedback from key audiences all while realizing significant cost savings. Web-based self-publishing is utilized by the solution which provides complete control of the entire press release process from creation to distribution. It becomes possible for the companies to measure the impact of the message, monitor coverage and understand market sentiment across traditional and social media networks with the help of extensive analytics and reporting tools of Thomson Reuters (News – Alert). Tight integration with a company’s investor relations website which ensures regulatory releases are published on the web site at the same time they reach other outlets, is one of the core elements to Web Disclosure. The investor community has consistently rated a simplified way to access and interact with all of a company’s disclosure information via a website as their preference, and Web Disclosure enables corporations to meet this need. “A new era requires new tools that enable public relations and investor relations professionals to compete in today’s Web-based, fast-paced world,” Steve Roycroft, Global Head of Corporate Services, Thomson Reuters, said. “Through the evolution of Web-based technologies, companies now have access to broader audiences; more control over how and when they communicate; and access to direct feedback on their messages – all while leveraging significant cost-efficiencies. Despite these changes, the press release distribution model has remained an antiquated one – until now. By offering a complete Web Disclosure solution, Thomson Reuters is simplifying the regulatory announcement process while enhancing the end-user experience and positively impacting a corporation’s bottom line.” Beyond regulatory news announcements, the Web-based self-publishing and analytics can also be used for other types of press releases. Integrated within the Thomson ONE platform, all of the components are products of the Corporate Services business of Thomson Reuters, providing more than 6,000 corporations worldwide with information, analytics and workflow solutions. Decision making and drive performance across the investor relations, public relations, corporate communications, business intelligence and corporate finance functions is enabled with the help of these corporate solutions.
