A Pro-Active Service

ProfileData's research department monitors listed company activity on a real-time basis. This enables us to be pro-active rather than reactive – ie, we nag our clients if they have forgotten to update their website rather than the other way around.

Customisable

Although built on proven designs and delivery methods, ProfileData's IT team can customise the IR data services to meet each client's technical and design requirements.
