I-Metrix 2.0 increases the transparency and usability of critical public company information to deliver a cost-effective, analysis-ready application designed for the financial and corporate analyst. I-Metrix customers are now able to leverage expanded capabilities in both the browser-based component as well as the Microsoft Office 2007 Excel® add-in including:
o Powerful Screening Tools -- Enables users to perform advanced filtering
against EDGAR Online's XBRL database of over 7,000 elements to identify
investment opportunities, trends and risks using custom or standard
ratios, numbers and market data.
o Enhanced Wizards -- Streamlines data selection and enable Microsoft
Excel users to specify how the results should be formatted when
