Alerting Tool from Knowledge Mosaic Helps Professionals Make Sense of Dodd-Frank

    SEATTLE, WA, February 10, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When President Obama signed the voluminous Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law last summer, there must have been an audible gulp from the pencil-pushers working at federal agencies. After all, they would be charged with the task of taking all 2,223 pages of the new law and administering it at the regulatory level.

As those rule makers continue to churn out official releases on Dodd-Frank, it is up to the rest of us to keep track of the process, and to make sense of how those changes affect our work. Knowledge Mosaic Inc. was one of the first to tackle this challenge, introducing its KM Dodd-Frank Tracker to the Knowledge Mosaic service last fall. Now, with the re-release of the Dodd-Frank Tracker and its new alerting system, Knowledge Mosaic continues its mission of organizing chaotic data into an intuitive and useful interface.

With alerting across nearly 20 rule making bodies, supplemented by weekly analysis, law firm memo commentary, agency materials, public company disclosure documents, and news archives--all available with one login--Knowledge Mosaic has further cemented its reputation as an indispensable information provider to a broad range of organizations including law firms, banks, investment companies, universities and government agencies.

The Seattle-based technology company, once known primarily as a provider of SEC filings, continues to broaden its platform to encompass data from across the federal regulatory landscape. "We were excited by the challenge this legislation posed," commented Knowledge Mosaic founder and president Peter Schwartz, "and I'm impressed by our response to it. I think it says a lot about what we do and our ability to serve the people who count on us. This tool has provided a framework for us to apply to other similarly complex government initiatives."

Since the Dodd-Frank Bill was signed into law on July 21, 2010, Knowledge Mosaic has identified over 250 discrete rulemaking items from nearly 20 federal agencies and bureaus to go with over 1,000 law firm memos the company has collected on the topic. The KM Dodd-Frank Tracker allows users to customize daily alerts for changes relevant to their work; sort rulemaking by agency, date, topic, or type; review effective date and other crucial information at a glance; and organize all rulemaking by date.

Located in the industrial underbelly of Seattle, Washington--amidst train yards and commercial fishing docks--Knowledge Mosaic Inc. employs the most advanced digital technologies to serve the information needs of professionals in highly regulated industries around the world. Knowledge Mosaic serves nearly 600 organizations, including numerous Fortune 500 companies, major accounting firms and financial institutions, as well as nearly all of the major North American law firms.
