 Applications/Enhancements

Throughout the second quarter, Alacra's development and product management teams have been busy creating and enhancing our product line. As described below, our energies have been focused on four exciting initiatives:

Alacra Book in PowerPoint
The newest format of Alacra Book represents a first of its kind publishing tool that easily integrates data from multiple sources, into a single PowerPoint template. Standardizing templates for presentations and overviews has never been easier. As always, project coding and bill-back capabilities are built in to help track and control external information costs.

Alacra Compliance
Customer Identification and Enhanced Due Diligence are now mission critical processes for broker-dealers, banks and professional service firms.� Researching prospective clients, be they businesses or individuals, is a time-consuming task requiring strong investigative skills and the use of multiple online databases.� When applying Alacra�s federated search technology and configurable user interface to the key compliance databases the results yield a significant improvement and acceleration of the account vetting process.

Alacra Connections
Alacra Connections provides Corporate Executive and Corporate Board of Director information on over 20,000 public companies around the world. This service integrates �people� data from multiple sources to provide complete biographical information for over 400,000 executives and board members, uncovering "degrees of separation" and compensation data for sales, marketing and conflict checking purposes.

Alacra Concordance
Alacra Concordance is a database and a solution that seamlessly ties together diverse company, security and industry identifiers. Alacra Concordance is created and maintained using a combination of proprietary matching software and a dedicated support team of accredited information professionals. With access to over 45,000 public companies and their equity securities, as well as 350,000 private companies, subsidiaries and divisions, Alacra Concordance is a rich tool, critical to anyone who needs to create a single view of a customer or prospect, or tie disparate data sources together.
