Environmental Data Resources Launches EDR OnDemand(TM), an Online Interface Providing Real-Time Access to Environmental Data

Posted on: Thursday, 12 October 2006, 09:00 CDT

MILFORD, Conn., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Environmental Data Resources Inc. (EDR) announced today the launch of EDR OnDemand(TM), an online, subscription service that allows real-time aggregation and access to environmental information from more than 800 federal, state, local, and tribal sources. EDR's Corporate, Legal and Government Services Division provides law firms and corporations the tools they need to conduct environmental research in an efficient and effective manner that has never before been available. To learn more about EDR OnDemand, visit http://www.edrnet.com/ondemand.

Law firms and corporations conduct environmental research for due diligence in the acquisition of new assets, new construction projects, environmental audits, background research for litigation and increasingly for compliance purposes and environmental financial reporting. Environmental financial reporting has been an area of particular concern for EDR's clients recently due to new accounting and regulations standards, such as the FIN47 ruling by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which have spurred an increased demand for environmental information from corporations. For all of these needs, EDR OnDemand Corporate and EDR OnDemand Legal provide superior services to manually searching relevant local databases, which has traditionally been a time-intensive, inexact and costly process.

"Overwhelmingly, our corporate and attorney clients tell us that the largest challenge they have with conducting environmental research has been the tremendous amount of time it takes to simply gather the appropriate data from various environmental and government sources," says Robert Barber, EDR's Chief Executive Officer. "We are thrilled to be providing a new and valuable service that expedites this research process, resulting in significant cost savings for our clients. Not only does EDR OnDemand provide fast and powerful research capabilities, but it also simplifies the overall environmental information collection process and ensures no databases are missed through manual error."

EDR OnDemand is subscription based, allowing corporations and law firms to pay an annual fee to have unlimited access to research. Through an easy-to-use, Web-based application, users can perform the research they need from any location with Internet access.

Barber continued, "The EDR OnDemand service allows our corporate and attorney clients to take full advantage of our position as the country's leading provider of environmental data reports. Clients can rely on EDR OnDemand as a comprehensive, single source of information for their environmental research needs. The product ultimately helps them gain control of the research process while significantly reducing time and costs."
