Effective March 21, 2011, NASDAQ OMX will launch NORA, a newly improved system for online summary usage reporting. The OLIVER system will be retired as of March 21, 2011 and users must enroll in NORA to continue online summary usage reporting.

What are some new features of NORA?

The new NORA system has been designed with the end users in mind. In addition to quick and easy self enrollment, users will have the same existing functionality of the OLIVER System, along with the option to receive email confirmations of activity and approvals, add and remove account numbers, change password and security questions, edit profile information and view open U.S. account balances.

The NORA system allows customers to access information via five tabs:

  • Home tab – View open U.S. balances and link to online invoices for all accounts.
  • Usage Reporting tab – Enter summary usage reporting.
  • Activity Report tab - View prior data entry by date and export data entry to a text file.
  • Manage Accounts tab – View and add/remove assigned account numbers.
  • Update Profile tab – Change contact and password information and change email notification settings.
