SOUTH NORWALK, Conn. – JANUARY 18, 2006 – EDGAR® Online®, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR) a leading provider of value-added global business and financial information, today announced that the Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA) has named three of its products as 2006 Codie Awards finalists. According to the SIIA, the Codie Awards judges selected EDGAR Online's products from a field of more then 1,000 nominations.

The Codie Awards judges named I-Metrix Professional one of six finalists in two categories: “Best Online Professional Financial Information Service” and “Best Business Software Solution.” The judges named I-Metrix Vision one of five finalists in the category, “Best Solution Integrating Content into an Application.” And they named EDGAR Online Pro one of five finalists in the category, “Best Online Business Information Service: non-News.”

I-Metrix Professional and I-Metrix Vision form part of EDGAR Online's I-Metrix suite of products, which provides a unique source of SEC-filed corporate financial information in the interactive eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format. In addition to the XBRL-formatted data, I-Metrix Professional includes a proprietary add-in for Microsoft Excel that enables clients to access the data directly from within spreadsheets.

EDGAR Online Pro offers company and industry information extracted from public company filings as well as advanced tools for in-depth analysis, via a Web interface.

EDGAR Online President and CEO Susan Strausberg said, “Our staff has done a phenomenal job creating some of the most valuable products in the financial information industry. I’m extremely proud that three of our products have been recognized by being chosen as finalists for such a prestigious award. The development of our new I-Metrix suite of products required significant company resources, so I’m particularly gratified that the SIIA has publicly affirmed our investment.”

Theoris President and CEO Mike Cunningham added, “The unique combination of XBRL-formatted data from EDGAR Online’s I Metrix and the Theoris Vision Software enterprise dashboard solution, created an innovative product of extraordinary value to companies who need to monitor their competitors, customers and how their performance measures up against the marketplace. We are thrilled that the Codie Awards judges recognize the unique power that this product offers.”
