Although our name is still not well known abroad, we remain Japan's most trusted source for critical corporate financial information. Our vast digital archives hold decades' worth of data on every publicly traded company, from the oldest blue chips to yesterday' IPOs, as well as detailed information on a large number of unlisted firms. Our online service has become the standard reference tool for hundreds of leading investment companies, universities, research institutes and professional organizations throughout Japan.Even though we are acknowledged as the leader in our field, we cannot rest on our laurels. So every year we make our service more complete, more reliable, and even easier to use. Beginning in 2006, we will make this powerful tool available in English for the first time, so users around the world can share the "eol advantage."
