Through the partnership, Waymaker, which already offers one of the most comprehensive media databases in Europe with more than 900,000 international media contacts, will give its clients access to CFI's comprehensive CitigateIRx contact database that enables users to pinpoint investors and analysts worldwide based on their specific industry or geographic coverage.

The financial data contained in CitigateIRx is gathered by local CFI teams around the globe and is updated throughout the day. "Our experienced researchers use the latest techniques for gathering and analyzing global investment community information," says Nick Arbuthnott, Managing Director of Citigate Financial Intelligence in Europe. "Clients of Waymaker will be able to act upon the most accurate and timely data available." The new joint offering will be available in the Nordic market in October 2004.
