Intuit and Transium Launch Groundbreaking Print Article Archive Source
Quicken.com Adds Access to Over 1000 Print Publications, Providing Extensive Company News & Research
LOS ALTOS, Calif., August 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Intuit Inc., and Transium Corporation today launched on Quicken.com ( quicken.com ), a print Article Archive source, providing access to company news and research from over 1000 print publications, archived back over 4 years. Key print publications include summaries from the Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Business Week. This is the first time that this type of print archive is accessible on a leading investment site.
''Most investment sites provide only one type of company news -- breaking news from a wire service like Reuters,'' commented Jay O'Connor, Director of Product Marketing, Quicken.com. ''Quicken.com provides that traditional source and dramatically broadens the universe of relevant articles available to our users, with two additional, innovative legs. We've coupled our print Article Archive, launched today, with our existing NewsTracker feature, which offers access to online articles from over 300 of the Web's top newspapers and magazines.''
Located in the Quotes Plus area of the Quicken.com site, Article Archive integrates with the current business news feeds, NewsTracker, and stock quote features already available. And, Article Archive can be used as a research tool by investors as well; positioning them one click away from all the research they could need.
Transium's technology allows consumers to search by company or topic, and then dynamically categorizes and groups articles by related sub-topics. For example, if a consumer looks up IBM, 7,905 articles will appear. These articles are then automatically grouped into functional categories, such as Advertising & Market Research. Consumers can also search for articles by publications, product, countries or related companies.
''The key benefit to our service is that no one else makes it as easy to find the information investors need. The Article Archive organizes articles into logical categories, so researching a particular aspect of a company -- like litigation, product marketing or corporate strategy is a simple one mouse click task,'' said Paul Sutter, Transium Corporation's CEO. ''It's perfect for investors who want accurate, objective information right now.''
A summary or abstract is available for free for all articles, and then in some cases there is a supplemental charge of one to three dollars for the full text of an article. Through Transium's Relevance Engine(TM), major articles are available from over 1000 of the most influential business-related journals in the world, either as full text documents or summaries from business publications including The Wall Street Journal and the NY Times, as well as specialty journals such as Ad Week, Chemical Week and the Communications Week. In addition, English language abstracts of international journals including the Nikkei Financial Daily and Computerwoche are included. Articles are added daily to the archive, however there is a 1 to 5 day delay from the time an article is printed to when it appears in the archive.
