IR information is a "trust infrastructure."
IR information is not a "post," but a "trust infrastructure."
For listed companies and companies in the investment-raising stage, the IR page is more than just a collection of information. It's a reference point for official information, referenced simultaneously by investors, analysts, the media, and now even AI search engines. For IR announcements, IR materials, and IR event information, timeliness, change history, and access consistency are paramount. Mistakes in operational processes directly lead to a loss of trust. Despite this, many companies still manage their IR information through general bulletin boards or document uploads, exposing themselves to long-term operational risks.

Corpis' IR information management capabilities
Corpis, Iropke's enterprise-specific CMS, was designed from the ground up to define IR information as a company's official data asset. IR announcements, IR data rooms, and IR events each have their own unique data structures and operational workflows.
1. IR Announcement Management
Regular and ad hoc disclosures, standard date disclosures, and investment-related notices are managed as dedicated content types. Disclosure dates can be set, pinned to the top, and multilingual synchronization is possible. Changes to disclosure history are automatically managed, reducing operational risk.
2. IR data room management
We structure and manage documents by type, including business reports, audit reports, performance presentations, and investor relations decks. This metadata-based management, rather than file upload-centric, allows search engines and AI to clearly recognize the nature and currency of documents.
3. IR Event Management
We manage information on general shareholders' meetings, earnings announcements, IR Day, and conference attendance as scheduled content. After the event concludes, it automatically switches to "Past Events" and links related materials and announcements to maintain the context of the IR information.
Expected effects of introducing Corpis
Corpis's IR information management isn't simply adding CMS functionality. It's an infrastructure transformation that changes the very standards of IR operations. With Corpis, the IR page is no longer a "menu with outdated updates," but rather a system that continuously demonstrates a company's trustworthiness.
- Consistent management of IR information time, history, and structure enhances investor confidence.
- IR staff can operate stably without developer intervention
- Beyond SEO, AI acts as a trusted official source of information in the AEO environment.
- Scalability while maintaining structure and standards even when operating multilingual and multi-regional IR
Customer Reviews of Corpis
- "Previously, registering or modifying IR announcements required checking the operating agency's schedule. Since implementing Corpis, the IR team can now directly manage the announcement schedule, update materials, and manage history, significantly reducing operational burden. In particular, the automatic management of announcement change history has been a significant aid in responding to internal audits." - H Enterprise IR Team / Publication and Data Operations Manager
- "Because the IR data room is now managed as structured information, rather than a simple collection of files, the way we respond to investor inquiries has changed. Instead of explaining 'where everything is,' we can now clearly state, 'This information is up-to-date,' and the credibility of our IR communications has noticeably improved." - K Investment Strategy Planning Office / Investment Communications Manager
- "The most significant change is that we've moved away from a structure where IR events, announcements, and materials were managed separately. At Corpis, IR-related information is managed as a single, connected flow, so operational standards are maintained even when personnel change. This provides a sense of stability, as we've systematized IR operations over the long term." - L Group Management Support Headquarters / IR/ESG Integrated Operations Manager
