EDGAR Online’s application I-Metrix Architect, was developed to streamline the storage and retrieval of information and by extention to facilitate use by end users.

I-Metrix Architect efficiently databases XBRL content by breaking it down into individual elements and storing them contextually. The context of an element provides additional clarity by specifying attributes such as entity, either individual or company; the time frame for which the element applies; and, even general business information such as whether the value is actual, projected or budgeted. Our customizable components enable robust distribution to internal, external and third-party consumers through multiple delivery options.

The I-Metrix Architect application makes it possible for our clients to bring state of the art content to the market without having to build or maintain their own hosted infrastructure. They are able to maintain their focus on their businesses while the data specialists at EDGAR Online manage the underlying infrastructure and platform.
