Q4, Inc
This is one of two providers to go with if you are considering an investor relations website. We evaluated both of them and landed on Q4 Desktop due to their reputation of solid customer service. The additional CRM software is a nice to have as there are many other solutions you may have access to before you make that product your main go to.

Zinnia
It is excellent for account opening, document aggregation and storage, tracking and correspondence. It is lacking in its interface and is often not intuitive or user friendly. I have had difficulty running specialized reports in the past and have had to call customer service for issues that should be easy to solve on one's own. There sometimes be a tremendous delay when interfacing with other programs like Microsoft Word.

While we have considered making a change we did not see the merit in considering any other companies. Additionally, the pricing is so attractive it is hard for other companies to compete for our business. At no point in the last 10 years have we seriously considered making a change
