I-Metrix powered by Checkpoint works in tandem with SECPlus on Checkpoint, the first online research tool to address the intricacies of financial compliance. Only SECPlus combines real-time access to SEC filings, expert analysis, and the underlying standards and regulations required to prepare compliant SEC filings.

I-Metrix will save vast amounts of time when building financial performance comparisons vs. peers and internal targets in several ways:

• I-Metrix automatically gathers detailed financial data and populates it into Excel – no need to gather the data manually.
• I-Metrix is launched from Excel -- eliminating the need to input data.
• I-Metrix lets you refresh data with the latest quarterly or annual information -- saving the trouble of updating manually.
• I-Metrix contains pre-built industry models -- saves even more time setting up models and allows companies to get much more useful industry specific granular data vs. general “high level” comparisons.
• I-Metrix is fully flexible, allowing you to change models to suit your own needs and save them, yet still get updated information each quarter -- instead of using a generic model, instead get just the information you need.
• I-Metrix allows you to “drill down” on specific data-points to see the source document -- saving the time and trouble of going outside to double-check that the figures are accurate, and ensuring confidence that the correct data is in your reports.

Anyone in the financial organization of a corporation who needs to gather and present comparative financial data on their company vs. its peers/competitors, or track trends in their company’s own performance over time, will find I-Metrix to be an extremely valuable tool for doing so.
