This RFP contemplates a significant, multi-year project to update the system's underlying technology.
During the next 12 months, the SEC will move beyond the EDGAR concept of electronic filing of paper-based forms, to an interactive data concept in which investors can have instant access to data that's ready to use in myriad software applications on their desktops The SEC has already begun to move toward the use of interactive data in its disclosure program. Since February 2005, the Commission has been testing the use of data tagging in periodic and investment company reports, using a format known as Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL). Filing financial data in XBRL is currently voluntary, and a number of registrants have begun to use the program.

XBRL is a pretty simple concept… • Tag individual concepts for electronic dissemination. • Most concepts that are disclosed are defined in a common framework – like IFRS • Those that aren’t are the unique aspects of a particular company’s operations. They are interesting because they are different to what their peers report. • Where a concept belongs to a common framework, use that. • Where a concept only belongs to a single organization, define it, and disclose that definition, together with the fact.
