Case Study: Alacra achieves faster time-to-market and six-month payback with Connotate

Alacra - Customer Case Study

Alacra, which serves over 300,000 end-users across 400 financial institutions and corporations, wanted to expand an existing product offering with unique information for a targeted segment of the financial community. After handling most development internally, Alacra faced a buy-versus-build decision for complex “Deep Web” sites, which required more advanced data extraction than simple surface scraping.

Connotate provided Web data extraction to collect data from those complex sites, helping Alacra finish the project faster and bring the enhanced offering to market sooner. The solution was more resilient to website changes, and within six months the revenue from the accelerated rollout exceeded the investment in Connotate, delivering a six-month payback.
