Customization Key To Pension News Service From CCH

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., December 13, 2001) – Extensive customization and timeliness are the keywords that describe the new PensionTracker™ news service from CCH INCORPORATED, a leading provider of pension, tax and employment law information and software. PensionTracker – a pension information resource that delivers daily customized news to you via the web or e-mail – keeps you up-to-date on the hottest topics affecting your organization. PensionTracker is available on CCH’s popular Internet Research NetWork, where you can access the latest news on your "My CCH" page or you can choose to have an e-mail message sent to you with updates. (For more information or to order, call your Sales Representative at 1-888-224-7377.)

"It’s never been easier to stay informed about need-to-know pension law developments," said CCH marketing manager Elice Webster. "You simply choose the information you want. CCH will do the searching for you and deliver the news to your desktop as soon as updates are released."

Personalized Information Saves Time

With PensionTracker, subscribers choose from a wide variety of pension news topics, from plan type to plan administration. Then, you determine what type of documents you need, whether it’s court decisions, DOL news or IRS regulations –or all of them. CCH then culls from its comprehensive daily coverage of new pension law developments only the news and information you want, and delivers it to you asit becomes available, and in the format you choose. You even get to determine how much information about a selected topic you want to receive – headlines, summaries – or both.

Offered as part of CCH’s standard-setting Internet Research NetWork, PensionTracker also delivers features that greatly enhance ease of use – whether you are checking daily news or researching developments.

With PensionTracker, you set up searches once, and get results as often as they occur. You also can view your tracker over a specific time period: your tracker archive will show you everything on any given topic you’ve chosen by a specific date, or over a select period of time.

You also can "Select All" categories, and receive the complete range of new pension developments reported by CCH. Short summaries of all source documents are available so users can make informed decisions about what to access.

On the Research NetWork, the PensionTracker is offered through "My CCH" page – a personalized page where subscribers can put their favorite research publications from CCH’s extensive array of libraries offered on the Internet service. A pension plan administrator, for example, might place CCH pension publications, a selection tax services and payroll materials in her "Research Publications" area, for example. Those publications could then be searched individually or in any combination.

"PensionTracker delivers the best of both worlds," noted Webster. "It draws from CCH’s authoritative, comprehensive coverage of pension law developments, but allows users to select only the information that is important to them. It will save pension professionals a lot of time. It’s simple, direct and focused."
