Many of you have your own deal documents library. Most likely this is just one big shared directory of inconsistently named and sporadically updated PDF files. By using the Empirasign Deal Documents Library, you can spend less time on this unwanted avocation and more time on your core tasks of providing value to the markets and your customers. The Empirasign Deal Documents Library consists of a variety of document types. These include Offering Memos, Prospectuses (and Supplements), Term Sheets, and Indentures (coming soon).

Today we extend the functionality of our 15,000+ document library by offering Full Text Search into these documents. If you're one to Cut the Corner on a dogleg, head right on over to www.empirasign.com/deal-docs/ to get started right away. This page can also be found under the Query Tools section of the Navbar.

A Few Motivating Examples (Words and Phrases to Deal Docs)

Full documentation for search methods can be found by clicking on the ? icon above the full text search box. Additionally, these instructions will autoload any time a malformed query is entered.

Identifiers to Deal Docs

Our new Full Text Search functionality is not the only way to surface and view Deal Documents. In the left search box, you can search for Deal Documents via ticker, CUSIP, or ISIN. Additionally, you'll find links to all available Deal Documents on any secid or BWIC page, and our real-time New Issue Monitor. An example screenshot from a BWIC page is shown below. The links are circled in red.

That's about all we have for now. Please watch this space as Full Text Search just marks the beginning of our foray into the world of financial prose (unstructured data). This is the next step after spending the last 15 years taming the world of financial numbers (loosely structured data).
