EDGAR Online Launches New Web-Based SEC Filing Service
NORWALK, Conn., June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- EDGAR Online (Nasdaq: EDGR), a
provider of business, financial and competitive information derived from SEC
data, today launched File Direct (http://www.file-direct.com), a new service
that allows companies to create SEC filings and submit those filings directly
to the Securities and Exchange Commission via the Internet. The service is
being launched in partnership with National Filing Service, Inc., an
independent SEC filing agency. File Direct currently allows users to create
and file Schedule 13D and Schedule 13G documents from an easy-to-use Web
template. "13" filings address changes in corporate ownership when an
individual, fund or corporation holds in excess of a five percent interest in
a public company. Filing capabilities for additional forms will soon be made
available.
"EDGAR Online's File Direct will save time and fees for law firms and
general counsels at corporations and mutual funds. The service allows our
customers to create SEC filings and submit those filings to the SEC via the
Internet without investing in additional applications or paying outside
vendors," said Jay Sears, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development
for EDGAR Online.
File Direct guides users through the filing process with a template
approach, assuring automatic formatting and a consistent look and feel.
Documents can be saved for editing and review. Critical data such as CIK, IRS
numbers and stock exchange listing data is automatically provided. Submission
is made via high-speed frame-relay LAN connections that run directly to the
SEC. Further, users can print a document proof on their local printer and
receive an email confirmation directly from the SEC when the filing has been
accepted. Both Web-based automated help and 24-hour/day live help via
800 number are available.
