SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a blog post titled "Disclosure for Dummies," Business Wire Chief Information Officer Steve Messick explains in layman's terms the behind-the-scenes technology that makes fair disclosure possible, and why standalone web postings and notice-and-access releases are incapable of providing simultaneous, real-time access to all market participants.

Messick, the architect behind Business Wire's patented NX delivery platform, explains that the building blocks of fair disclosure are simultaneity, synchronization, and security, and elaborates how they contribute to Business Wire's core value proposition.
Business Wire, which has been helping public companies meet their disclosure obligations for nearly 50 years, has published numerous blog posts in recent years in defense of full and fair disclosure.
