FactSet Workstation vs. SAP Responsible Design and Production

FactSet works for all my IR needs. I do not see a function for which I use it for that it would be less appropriate. I believe that the tool's efforts towards becoming more integrated with AI are strong and that in time the Mercury offering will be just as competitive as some of the other AI offerings out there today such as AlphaSense

Scenarios where a company needs to have a lot of visibility and control over the materials it uses for manufacturing, companies that are generators of polluting materials and companies that need to manage different EPRs in different countries. It is perhaps less useful for smaller companies whose sector is not related or involved in waste management and who do not have much volume or presence abroad. These may be able to cope with a customised development that contains their costs.

• Easy/clear UI for navigation
• Easily find and sort through financial filings to get to the data

• Helps us redesign packaging for cost and waste savings.
• Reduces industrial waste, ensures timely delivery and decreases global carbon footprint.
• Helps us better optimize our packaging which leads to product longevity.
• Overall it gives us an edge in EPR compliances due to its versatile approaches.

• The user interface on stock monitor needs work - sometimes I wish to clone the same fields to another tab/watchlist and it appears the best way to do so is recreate it form scratch
• transcript to be more timely and more accurate
• on the consensus financial forecast tab, have more segment breakouts like Visible Alpha

• On the subject of our Business, we need to have Ecovidrio (Ecoembes) declaration included in RDP, as soon as possible. It is urgent for us.
• The features feed for uploading information to the RDP should be more streamlined and user friendly
• I would also improve the data quality part, it doesn't really make it clear where the problem might lie.

We need the FactSet data and capabilities to complete 75% of the financial analyses that we complete for both internal and external purposes. It is invaluable and I am not aware of any other provider that would be able to fill this gap that FactSet does

As declarations will be incorporated, we will be able to have the data of all of them in one place, which allows us to be agile and save time and costs.

It does everything I need. It is pretty user friendly and easy to work with whatever technology interface I am using (desk top, notebook, tablet, or mobile phone). I am able to get work done whether I am in the office, at home, or traveling. The user up time is very good. They are rarely doing maintenance when I need to use the platform

Information available is very useful however it is difficult to navigate to the correct location until you have deeper understanding of software. EG - KNA1 is table for customer information which is difficult for a new user to understand

I think the data delivery could be improved, but it's a good data set.

Product is magnitudes more affordable and provides 80% of the functionality that Bloomberg has and is working to build out the remaining. The workstation is more user friendly than bloomberg but still not perfect. Not as robust as a Bloomberg Terminal and doesn't have the chat/trading features.

These are some of the other Risk Management softwares known of. Although these solutions may not match SAP's offerings as an entire package (as just focusing on the Risk management side for this question) and not fully knowledgeable to their capabilities but SAP Responsible Design and Production provides a reliable system that performs well and provides the data analytics we require.

• hard to quantify, bc i havent brought any new business bc of it, so the ROI would be 0%. I use other systems for proposals.
• However, I use it for everyday work and equity/fi analysis and portfolio construction research at ticker level, and that part works 100%.

• It helped us to monitor impact of global regulations on our new product
• It helped us to manage the product packaging data
