VIP commented in February 2010

"Company Watch is used by international corporations, banks, fund managers, insurance companies, public bodies, chartered accountants etc. It can be used for a range of applications including credit risk management, supply chain management, relationship management, investment, marketing and business targeting, and industry benchmarking.

Whilst there are other vendors providing access to company financials, the unique selling point of Company Watch is its proprietary methodology for assessing financial health."

VIP identified the following features as particularly noteworthy:

• Good coverage of international listed companies and UK private and listed companies.
• In addition to financial information, Company Watch provides a proprietary methodology for assessing financial health and claims a high level of predictive accuracy for company failure.
• The Search Engine function provides a wide range of options for searching and creating industry rankings, benchmarking, and marketing prospects.
• Intuitive interface with high proportion of graphs and tables to assist easy understanding of underlying data.
• Flexibility in manipulating data using Experiments to look at ‘What-if?’ scenarios, for example, by adding additional financial periods, editing data, or adding accounts for a company not on the Company Watch database.
