Thomson Reuters Deal Complete

It took nearly a year, but yesterday marked the closing of the merger of Thomson and Reuters, forming a new entity called Thomson Reuters. See the press release here: http://www.thomsonreuters.com/content/press_room/corp/corp_news/212378

It should be interesting to see in coming months how the new company merges their operations, products and sales teams. I know lots of people at both organizations and everyone is anxiously waiting to see how it plays out, and how it affects their jobs.

As for how this affects iMiners, there has never been a better time for innovative new players to enter the market. Thomson Reuters, Nasdaq OMX, and other large service providers have enormous resources and reach, but companies like iMiners can utilize its smaller size to quickly bring innovative products to the market. In my experience, lots of IROs and PROs don't like consolidation of vendors because it leads to monopoly status and eventually, higher prices. iMiners intends to focus on bringing innovative products to market that leverage our unique database of nearly half-a-million categorized press releases from over 6,500 companies. Next up? PR Cycle, which we are about to launch as a beta product. Stay tuned.....

iMiners First Exhibition

This past Thursday iMiners Founder/President Jnyaneshwar Prabhu and VP of Sales Mike O'Brien attended and exhibited at the NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar. Other IR service providers exhibiting included Shareholder.com, Thomson Financial, Business Wire, Marketwire, Ipreo, and PrecisionIR. It was a great event, capped off by the keynote address by Oakland As GM Billy Beane. We are looking forward to our next event: the NIRI National show in San Diego from June 8-11.

iMiners to Exhibit at NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar

March 27th is the NIRI Silicon Valley Spring Seminar, where over 100 Bay Area Investor Relations Officers will gather to hear presentations on a wide variety of topics affecting investor relations. For iMiners, this will be our first public exhibition opportunity; we will have a table along with 15 or so other vendors to show our services. Other exhibitiors include giants such as Thomson Financial, Nasdaq, Business Wire, and Mellon. We should generate quite a bit of attention and curiosity; there haven't been too many new players in the IR technology services market in recent years as consolidation has swept the industry.

The agenda includes: a CFO panel discussion led by the CFOs of Cypress Semiconductor, Hewlett-Packard, and Varian, Inc.; SEC hot topics; breakout sessions on Competitive Intelligence and Best Practices in Small Cap IR; and a session on Crisis Communications. Finally, the keynote speaker is Billy Beane, GM of the Oakland Athletics.
