The plague of the PDF in online IR
filed inInvestor Relations
After exploring company websites of many IROs, I found most suffered from the same shortfalls. Instead of a clear path of navigation, competitive positioning material and accessible files in the proper HTML format, I found rows of filing cabinets.

In fact, they will most likely break out into a heavy pant and full sweat trying to rummage through all the print materials.

Pulling the content together was largely my role as I’ve been dubbed the resident expert on online Investor Relations (though I feel uncomfortable being called “the expert” on anything). I consider myself to be more of an expert observer and expert of generating solutions to challenging experiences, I suppose. I will admit I’m very interested in this topic of marrying excellence in disclosure with excellence in Internet technology.
