Wrap-Up 2004
Premium Databases & Content
Very often, new content requests come directly from our customers. This content could be a database your firm already subscribes to that you wish to access via Alacra's federated search, or it could be content you wish to add to your Alacra Book. It might also be content you only need occasionally that you would like to purchase on a transactional basis.
This year, in an effort to meet the needs of our customers, we've added more than a dozen new databases*. A valued addition is credit research from Standard & Poor’s and FitchRatings, which, when combined with Moody’s content (added in 2003) and CreditSights, slated to come on board in a few weeks, positions Alacra as a one-stop shop for credit research.
