Capital Markets Brain Frazzle

So it has been a while since I last had to deal with the concept of PE ratios or Market Capitalisation, but I feel like my brain is fried. I have just finished having a whirlwind tour of Capital IQ with the Standard & Poor's marketing department, and the volume of data, and the many ways of accessing and applying it  have boggled my mind temporarily.  I'm going to have to think hard about how to structure this review.  And I have just over a week!
I'm a bit disappointed (but not surprised) that the whizzy excel plug-in doesn't work with excel for the Mac OSX. Curse you Microsoft/PC dominators!
Right, time to begin testing the system.

View from the other side of the product review

For a long time the VIP product reviews from Freepint have been a key tool in my campaign against being bamboozled by vendors. Now for the first time I have been asked to review a product for VIP and so I am having to approach it from the other side.  Trying to bear in mind what I wanted to know when I was considering my information product options.

I'm going to be looking at Capital IQ, hopefully for the April edition, but there have been a few minor delays so fingers crossed.  I am going to be attending a webex session tomorrow which will get me started on my mission.  I also plan to grill a couple of information managers that I know are regular users of the product and see what their opinions are. What might be improved? What are the real winning features?
Right now I am going to have a play on the system and see what happens.  That is if I can get the cat off my chair.
