Hard to imagine life without handy GPS navigation devices. Don’t you agree?

Google Maps. Car GPS screens. They’re just some tools that make things easier when you’re getting around a new place. They save time. And enable you to reach your destination as quickly as possible.

Investors and other stakeholders usually check out websites of companies they want to investment in. After all, corporate sites are expected to be a company’s best source of information.

Imagine when a website isn’t adequately designed or isn’t functioning as well as it could. Understandably, investors’ interest in that company would likely diminish.

Just a quick shout out to celebrate more ASX-listed clients using IRM Newsroom, our news delivery tool!

Through Newsroom, over 125 companies are now enjoying immediate distribution of ASX announcements to their websites, email subscribers and social media channels.

Growth. Expansion. That’s always good news.

You’d want everyone to be updated with these advancements, wouldn’t you? Especially your stakeholders. And what better way to do this than through a supportive website.

Here’s how Australian biotech Noxopharm Ltd. was able to quickly launch a site for its new subsidiary.

Social media is making an impact on Australian investment decisions.

Information ASX-listed companies relay through social media can “unintentionally influence” investor decisions, according to a recent study by Victoria University’s Dr. Maria Prokofieva.

In fact, more Australian businesses are now tapping into social media, Dr. Prokofieva noted in an ABC News article. Companies are catching the attention of stakeholders through this digital space. And as investors are engaged, companies are able to direct them to making positive investment decisions.

Things change. Yes, even business names.

It’s a healthy sign of dynamism as the company heads into a new direction.

That’s why it’s great to have a content management system that’s supportive of your website and company’s progress.
