SunGard demonstrated the long-term vision and strategy on a global basis and will provide scalability and efficiency through a global delivery model. SunGard’s footprint in the financial services space can offer us the opportunity to collaborate with it on other XBRL-based projects.”
Kalpesh Master, managing partner, SunGard Global Services, said, “EDGAR Online’s selection of SunGard underscores our continued support of our customers’ growing regulatory and compliance requirements. With XBRL as the mandated format for SEC filings, our work with EDGAR Online will help its clients transform static reporting documentation into a more dynamic electronic format that provi provides the SEC and other regulatory bodies a more efficient process of reviewing public companies’ financial history for enhanced data analytics.
