Research Data Group and UpTick Data Technologies Combine Under Unified Management

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22, 2017 -- Research Data Group, Inc. (RDG), a leader in assisting public corporations with SEC filing requirements, and UpTick Data Technologies, a leader in Natural Language Generation and financial reporting, announced the merger of the two companies under one management structure. The combination brings together RDG’s corporate performance graphs, peer group analysis, XBRL and EDGAR filing capabilities with UpTick’s automated text generation technology used to produce corporate insider, earnings, and analyst recommendation news as well as UpTick’s retirement reporting platform PlanXtra.com.  UpTick was previously majority controlled by RDG and this consolidation allows for a more streamlined financial and management structure, integrated infrastructure and development platform. RDG and UpTick will each maintain their names and individual branding.

Jonathan Elliott, RDG’s Chief Operating Officer noted, “UpTick’s capabilities utilizing financial data for text generation and commentary fit extremely well with RDG’s SEC data creation and management services. We are excited about the opportunity to apply this market leading technology to our full-service analysis and software platform offerings. UpTick’s report generation capabilities complement and enhance RDG’s own reporting capabilities and will expand the suite of products we offer in exciting new ways, including the creation of reports and news utilizing XBRL data.  We look forward to exploiting these synergies to better serve and grow our combined client base.”

“Additionally, the ability to leverage RDG’s existing technology infrastructure is a huge win for UpTick’s clients, who depend on UpTick for real-time, mission critical products.”
