Abstract:

An integrated computer-implemented corporate information delivery system. A database stores research reports produced by and received electronically from brokerage firms. The database also stores corporate information about a number of corporations. Each item of corporate information is produced by and received electronically from one of the corporations about that corporation. Authorization information ("entitlements") specifies who is authorized to access each research report or item of corporate information. An entitlement subsystem allows the contributor of the research report or item of corporate information to dynamically change, on-line, the entitlement status of any or all users/subscribers. A research delivery module allows a user to submit a query and receive query results listing research reports and corporate information satisfying the query and that the user is authorized to access. A corporate register module outputs corporate information, the corporate information output according to a common format.
