ePolitix.com's aim is to provide policymakers with the relevant information to make an informed policy decision.

The Stakeholders area of ePolitix.com is where we build, update and host specialist public affairs websites for over 180 different organisations.

These organisations include campaigning groups, blue chip companies, charities, trade and professional associations, trade unions and government agencies.

Before ePolitix.com launched in September 2000, we carried out extensive market research on what policymakers like and dislike about the way organisations communicate with them.

We found that the many in the political community dislike being sent information directly as they often receive too much information to deal with, much of it irrelevant to them or at a time when it isn't needed.

The Stakeholders section of our website solves this problem as it enables organisations to house the information they want to communicate to the political community and allows policymakers to use it as and when they need it.

Organisations use the Stakeholders section to house their public affairs information.

This usually involves: a description of what the organisation does, its views on relevant policies and legislation, pertinent press releases and policy briefings.

Organisations can update this information whenever they wish by simply emailing the changes to ePolitix.com, which means their Stakeholder websites can be used as a highly topical and adaptable political communications tool.

We provide an effective search mechanism so that policymakers can search by organisation, policy sector or subject area to find out the views of Stakeholders.

If a policymaker wants to find out some authoritative views on the environment for example, they can simply type 'environment' into our subject search for a list of all the Stakeholder members who have an interest in that subject.
