Knobias, Inc. is announcing the signing of a "private label" agreement with Dallas, Texas-based B2I Technologies, Inc. to integrate B2I's Web site management and CRM software into Knobias Issuer Services.
The new product line will be marketed as Knobias IROffice.
Knobias CEO Key Ramsey said integrating B2I's technology into "our already robust Knobias Issuer Services" would allow "corporate executives or their IR/PR consultants" to "communicate their stories while receiving real-time interaction with interested investors from their web site, press releases and email communications."
In June Knobias signed a content redistribution agreement with Acquire Media Corporation in which Acquire Media made Knobias US Market Commentary and proprietary stories focused primarily on Small Cap stocks available to their existing client base.
Knobias, Inc. ("No bias," get it?") provides financial information products for institutional market participants, corporations and industry professionals.
Knobias IROffice will be marketed as enabling companies to communicate more efficiently with investors in the open market while allowing portfolio managers to track their companies for SEC compliance and reporting.
Ramsey said the company's goal, since inception, has been "to bring transparency and legitimacy to the Small Cap marketplace."
Knobias publishes the daily "ClipReport," a free newsletter on proprietary news and commentary on small-, micro- and nano-cap stocks. Each week Knobias picks one company to be highlighted in the SPOT, and that lucky company must a) trade on the Nasdaq National Market, Nasdaq Smallcap Market, Amex, OTCBB or Pink Sheets; b) have a Market cap of less than $250 million; c) have annual revenues greater than $1 million, d) have a closing share price greater than 5 cents, and e) have average daily volume of at least 10,000 shares.
Last week B2I Technologies, Inc. received 21 awards, including 14 Best of Industry citations from the independent judging panels of the 2005 Interactive Investor Relations Awards.
Judges included individual and institutional investors, financial advisors, the financial press, as well as interactive development and IR professionals.
B2I officials say this is the first time that a "low-cost, on-demand, integrated customer relationship and web content management application has been used by publicly traded companies listed on every exchange in the United States to be simultaneously recognized as Best of Industry in interactive investor relations."
