NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 09/25/12 -- Connotate, Inc., the leading provider of solutions that help organizations monitor and collect data from the Web, today announced that Alacra, a leading provider of business information-based solutions for the financial and professional services industries, has deployed Connotate to automate Web data monitoring and collection processes, seeing a six-month payback on their investment.

Based in New York, Alacra provides data integration and legal entity mapping services to numerous large financial institutions and professional service firms around the world. In 2011 the company was faced with a "buy versus build" choice in order to gain reliable access to certain Web data required to bring an innovative product enhancement to market. Alacra sought to deliver a unique collection of information that would be of critical interest to a targeted segment of the financial community.

"We examined cost and time-to-market considerations when deciding whether to build or buy the capabilities needed for us to enhance a mission-critical offering," said Steven Goldstein, CEO at Alacra. "Connotate's professional-grade solution proved more cost effective than building in-house and it significantly accelerated our time-to-market."

The Connotate solution delivers powerful, intelligent and cost-effective Web extraction technology that can monitor high volumes of complex data at near real-time, while also collecting, sorting and formatting that data very quickly. Used by global clients including Standard & Poor's and The Associated Press, Connotate enables businesses to harness the power of Web data while streamlining operations.

"We are very pleased to team up with Alacra and support their initiative to bring innovative solutions to market quickly," said Keith Cooper, CEO at Connotate. "By leveraging our technology to automate key processes, Alacra is better positioned to capture critical data, analyze and custom-package it to provide clients with unique, high-value services."
