As a content-neutral solution provider, Alacra's ability to aggregate, map, and organize entity identifier data from the world's largest collection of business and financial information is unparalleled.

Alacra provides clients with Counterparty Intelligence and works with leading global financial institutions to help them more effectively manage their customer, prospect, vendor, and counterparty data and risk via these solutions:

1. The Alacra Authority File
   Updated daily, the Alacra Authority File includes 24 core reference data attributes and 75+ public and proprietary identifier mappings for over 200,000 global listed, rated, and regulated entities.
   
   Alacra gathers intraday and daily files from stock exchanges, ratings agencies, regulatory bodies and major business information publishers. We process these files using sophisticated, proprietary matching software that identifies new entities and data changes. Our global team of researchers then conducts primary research to validate the information.
   
   
2. Alacra Concordance
   To further help mitigate the regulatory, legal, and reputational, operational and financial risk of inaccurate entity data, Alacra Concordance offers an entity identifier mapping service tailored to meet the breadth of a client's public and private entity universe.
   
   Concordance involves a four-step process:
   • Data analysis, cleanse, and alignment
   • Mapping of entities to the Alacra Concordance File
   • Appending of public keys and proprietary identifiers
   • Provision of ongoing data updates
   
   Business Challenges Addressed:
   • Duplicate or conflicting views of the same entity reconciled
   • Stale or missing attributes in reference data replaced and/or updated
   • Disparate views of entities across multiple data silos aligned
   • Corporate events impacting risk exposure or clients conveyed via timely data alerts
   • Independent downstream applications efficiently leverage centralized, up-to-date data set

Increasingly, Alacra is seeing data silo convergence with a centralized set of entity data leveraged for risk management, regulatory compliance, and CRM application layering.
