Mergent Intellect Technical Issues

The Mergent Intellect product is experiencing intermittent technical issues as developers work to improve the database. Users have reported that when entering a search, the database hangs with a message that says, "We are processing your request. Please wait..." The providers of the Intellect database are aware of this issue and working to correct it. We'll continue to provide more information as we have it. We apologize for any inconvenience.
