What We Do
Capital Monitor covers Federal, State and Territory Parliaments, Government departments, agencies, the Courts and AAP’s news wires, including AsiaPulse. If anything happens that affects you, we will send it to you in virtual real-time.
We monitor everything: from accounting standards to WorkCover, taxation to superannuation, or telecommunications to broadcasting – any wide ranging topic to very specific issues. You are not restricted in what can be monitored for you.
Press releases, policy announcements, Hansard extracts, Court decisions, Tax Rulings, Gazette items, Parliamentary papers and reports, Inquiries, Bills, speeches, Acts, Regulations, and much more. We comb through enormous amounts of material to find precisely those documents that are important to you.
Capital Monitor also provides intelligent monitoring of AAP’s news wires. Subscribers can choose be alerted to any news stories, on any issue, before they become news.
Fast & Efficient
Being aware of the latest policy decisions is vital to remain informed, to be competitive and to comply with the law.
Capital Monitor will deliver to your desktop copies of raw news relevant to your brief, moments after it appears. We will alert you moments after anything happens. We will not flood you with irrelevant material, only what is pertinent to your business interests.
Flexible & Dynamic
Public policy issues are dynamic. They keep evolving, just as your interests do. We understand, and provide services that are friendly and flexible to assist, and make it easier for you.
Capital Monitor will watch for any developments on a wide brief, say, taxation. Or we will monitor for very specific information e.g., mentions of a particular firm or individual.
And you can change what is being monitored for you, at any time of day or night. You can also choose how you want to be alerted, and when. You might choose to have documents relating to one issue delivered to you immediately or, for another topic, just to receive a summary alert which is hyperlinked to the document. Another option is to get daily or weekly digests of everything that happens in any topic of your choice.
In other words, we give you complete flexibility on
- what you want monitored,
- how, and
- when you are alerted.
Library & Research
Capital Monitor stores all its information in online databases for later search and retrieval. You can access this historical information from anywhere, at any time of day or night.
Our website provides fast, secure access to a vast library of information resources for your research, or just to get a particular document. It also has a range of special browser pages so that subscribers can simply and quickly access any document they might need. Or just to browse the latest developments in any particular issue.
The site also employs a powerful search facility covering millions of historical files for research or fast file retrieval.
And we provide a whole range of complementary services. We will alert you of any new government publication affecting your brief. If you need one, we will purchase it and put it on your desk the next day. And we can distribute your press releases, or undertake detailed research on your behalf.
Backup & Support
Capital Monitor services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Subscribers also have access to our professional staff to provide additional support whenever needed. Our staff will assist you with research questions, matters of parliamentary procedure, or just a simple technical query. Our aim is to deliver what you need quickly without any problem to you. Our specialists provide subscribers with on-site, online, e-mail or telephone support if and whenever required.
Capital Monitor’s systems are simple and user-friendly. No special training is required and no special software is needed. But there is always back-up support available to subscribers from our specialist, professional staff.
Savings
Capital Monitor delivers exactly what is required. There is no need to sift through mountains of irrelevant material to try and find what you need. There is no need to waste time and resources hunting for what has been, or might have been said.
And you will be alerted immediately, getting the advice moments after any change in policy or law. You will not have to rely on chance discovery in a newspaper or journal days later. You will not be embarrassed when someone asks you about it.
Further savings are achieved by reducing the need for subscribers to catalogue, index and file regulatory information. You can quickly and easily access any file from Capital Monitor’s historical collections at any time of day or night.
Capital Monitor’s subscription charges are inexpensive in comparison. They are less than the costs spent on staff time spent searching for the material. Even our firm-wide Intranets are delivered to each user for less than the cost of a newspaper.
Individual & Firm-wide
Capital Monitor delivers to individual specialists, and to a wide variety of groups in larger organisations. All our services are tailored to match the special needs of those individuals or groups.
We also provide firm-wide Intranets displaying the latest information for your organisation, updated continuously with the latest relevant news and information. And these can be presented in your corporate style to fit seamlessly within your existing Intranet. We already deliver Intranets with over 100,000 users, and some to just a couple of people.
Capital Monitor will match your information requirements to fit within your budget.
