02 Where Issuers differs
From a desktop of data to a workspace that does the prep
CRM with your history
Bring years of contacts and activities into the investor relations CRM and keep working from the same record.
Ownership with sources
Shareholder identification from public holdings filings, buyers, sellers and quiet holders, each with the filing it comes from.
Targets and briefs
Investor targeting with fit scores, and a one page brief before every meeting, written by Copilot.
03 Honest view
When staying with IR Insight is the better choice
If your team depends on proprietary ownership or contact data that comes only with your current contract, and your vendor offers a supported path forward, staying may be simpler for now. Issuers builds ownership from public filings and licensed sources, not from any vendor's private database.
If your contract has a long term left and the desktop still does what you need, there is no reason to rush. Plan the move for your renewal date.
If you want to leave a legacy desktop for a current tool that adds briefs, disclosure and raises at a known price, Issuers is a direct fit.
