PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
| |
FactSet Research
Systems Inc. (the "Company" or "FactSet") supplies financial intelligence to
the global investment community. The Company combines more than 100 databases,
including data from tens of thousands of companies as well as multiple stock
markets, research firms and governments, into a single online source of
information and analytics. |
| |
While obtaining
financial information from over 50 database suppliers, FactSet also seeks to
maintain contractual relationships with a minimum of two database providers
for each type of financial data, when possible. Database supplier contracts
are generally renewable annually and may often be terminated on one year’s
notice. Several of the database suppliers are in direct competition with each
other and in some cases, with FactSet. Fees for data are either billed
directly to FactSet or its clients. Data charges billed to the Company are on
a fixed or royalty (per client) fee basis. |
| |
Through FactSet’s
exclusive proprietary communication and software tools, clients obtain access
to the Company’s mainframe centers and its aggregated data library
using a private wide area network. This secure and reliable network provides
a direct, high-speed data transmission link between the Company’s mainframes
and the client’s personal computers or computer network. For an annual
subscription fee, clients acquire use of the private wide area network allowing
access to the FactSet system. |
| |
An integral part
of FactSet’s strategy to maintain long-term client relations, involves
consulting, training and technical support. The Company established a new call
center system, including such services as skill-based call routing, to help
consultants aid clients more efficiently. The Company also recently installed
a new customer relationship management system. Using this system, the Company’s
consulting and sales teams gain improved intelligence about client activities
and are able to develop better tools to service them. Clients are also
encouraged to participate in a myriad of training programs, conducted either
at the client’s location or a FactSet office. Along with technical
support available around the clock, this training is designed to give clients
a comprehensive understanding of FactSet’s service. |
| |
The financial
information services industry, containing both large and well-capitalized
companies, as well as smaller, niche firms, is a competitive market recognized
for its continuous significant technological advances. International and
domestic competitors include market data suppliers, news and information providers
and many of the database providers that supply the Company with financial data
included in the FactSet system. International competitors include Datastream,
owned by The Thomson Corporation, and RIMES. Domestic competitors include
online, CD-ROM, and Internet database suppliers and integrators such as The
Thomson Corporation, FAME, COMPUSTAT, a product of Standard & Poors,
a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, and Multex.com Inc. Several of
these competitors offer products or services similar to those provided by
FactSet and in some cases at a lower price. |
| |
The Company
believes that it has become essential for financial professionals to be able
to access data from multiple sources which they can combine and download into
spreadsheets in order to analyze the information. During fiscal 2001, FactSet
made great strides in expanding its current and new services to clients.
SPAR (Style, Performance and Risk), which was introduced in fiscal 2000, gained
considerable market leverage in fiscal 2001. SPAR allows portfolio managers
to analyze the style, performance and risk of selected portfolios, benchmarks
and competitor funds. In addition, the Company updated Portfolio Analysis in
fiscal 2001 and added transaction-based returns analysis to the application.
The Company also broadened its global content by adding more economic data and
regional fundamental data, particularly on companies based in Latin America
and the Far East. During fiscal 2001, FactSet added share ownership data through
its acquisition of the LionShares data. The share ownership applications allow
users to access company and ownership details, ownership statistics, ownership
analysis and investor region analysis for companies whose shares are publicly
traded.
|
| |
In July 2001,
the Company completed its acquisition of a new data center in Manchester,
New Hampshire, along with its associated lease, from Vitts Networks, Inc.
The 12,750 square foot state-of-the-art facility includes 7,500 square feet
of conditioned data center space. The new facility has the size, redundancy
and flexibility to host the next generation of FactSet’s online services,
with a greater level of security and reliability than the Company had previously
been able to offer to its clients. The Company expects to begin operations in
Manchester in late November 2001, at which time FactSet’s New York City data
center will be closed and converted to conventional offices. |
| |
The number of employees of FactSet and its subsidiaries totaled 612 as of
August 31, 2001, compared to 432 at August 31, 2000. |
