REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., Aug 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Equilar, the market leader for executive compensation benchmarking
solutions, today announced the release of OfficerInsight(TM), an
innovative new online service that integrates all available public
data on executive pay with proprietary compensation survey information
provided by America's leading corporations. With OfficerInsight(TM),
Equilar clients will be able to gain valuable insights into
compensation trends for C-level executives, Section 16 officers, and
key functional and business unit heads at leading U.S. companies. Much
of this information comes directly from participating companies
themselves through Equilar's exclusive survey of executive
compensation practices and policies, conducted in early 2008.

As the newest addition to Equilar's award-winning suite of online
tools, OfficerInsight(TM) is the first pure on-demand executive
compensation survey. Offering easy online access, customized job
matching capabilities, pre-populated data from public filings, and
unprecedented flexibility and transparency in defining methodologies,
OfficerInsight(TM) promises to greatly improve the end-user experience
with the most accurate and up-to-date data.

"With over 150 survey participants, and 100 of those participants
in the Fortune 250, this product is already a great success," says
Robert Neivert, Equilar's Vice President of Products and Marketing.
"Our strong participation rates in year one clearly demonstrate the
immediate need for high-quality, continuously updated, and real-time
executive pay data that is flexible enough to cover the complex hybrid
roles that many executives hold today." He adds, "It is products like
this that have enabled Equilar to build successful relationships with
19 of top 20 compensation consultants and to act as a trusted resource
for The New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Washington Post, The Chicago
Tribune, and many others."
