How quickly can IR Room be deployed?

It can take as little as a couple days to a week to get your site up and ready for your audience.  Timeframes are dependent on the type of design set-up necessary and the amount of time it takes to populate the site with content. 

A typical site is live within four to six weeks.

Can the IR Room look like my company's Web site?

Yes - the IR Room includes a complete design match standard.  Your end users won't be able to tell from the design that they aren't looking at your company's Web site.

Does my IT Team have to be involved?

In most cases, not at all.  We can build and deliver your IR Room to you without ever needing to work with your IT group.  Once we have your site set-up, your company webmaster will only need to link your IR Room to your main Web site if desired.  If your IT team ever has questions about your site, we're happy to help you answer them.

How is the IR Room hosted?

The IR Room is delivered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application, which means it is essentially a 100% web-based software. You can log in to manage your site from any Web browser (such as Internet Explorer or FireFox), for 24/7 productivity from wherever you are.  There is no hardware to manage and no software to install.

Delivering IR Room as SaaS means an often HUGE time savings over installed software.  Your site can be up and running within days as opposed to weeks or months with installed applications.  And your IT staff doesn't need to be involved at all.  Faster implementation with little to no use of your technical resources...it's a win-win.

Since the IR Room is delivered as a "service," you won't incur any capital budget expenses which for many clients means you can expense the annual fee as part of your budget the same way you might with other external vendor fees.

Where is the site hosted?

Your site will be hosted by PR Newswire with an infrastructure that includes:

• Co-location in several facilities
• Redundancy at the facility level and at the server level
• Real-time backup
• Disaster recovery
• Load balancing
• Scalability

All contribute to a state-of-the-art hosting environment.

What type of support is offered?

Like all PR Newswire services, IR Room is supported by a dedicated team.

• Standard support includes email and phone support from 7 am to 7 pm EST.
• After-hours support is 24/7 by the PR Newswire help desk 1-800 number.
• A self-help system is accessible via your IR Room dashboard.

How much does it cost?

The IR Room is priced as an annual subscription fee at a very reasonable annual price in comparison to other offerings - there are never any per user fees so you can involve as many of your team members as needed to keep your site up to date.
