Alacra, one of Europes market-leading business information portal service providers, has announced that it has added Perfect Information -- the leader in providing scanned company filings to its Alacra product range.

Perfect Informations Pioneer database provides access to over 3 million scanned business critical documents with an archive stretching back to 1982. Alacra customers will be able to search across a global collection of Company Report and Accounts, Eurobond prospectuses and pricing supplements, Company Circulars and the London Stock Exchange Regulatory News Service.

Greg Simidian, Managing Director of Perfect Information commented: We are pleased to work with Alacra, which has a strong position within the information marketplace. With the addition of our service, Alacra users will now have access to the largest collection of equity and debt prospectuses with an unrivalled report and accounts collection covering over 20,000 public companies. We will be able to deliver comprehensive and timely data which end users have come to expect from PI."

Don Roll, Managing Director of Alacra concluded: The integration of Perfect Information content adds considerable value to our existing services. It provides Alacra Book users with access to over 3 million scanned images using Perfect Informations comprehensive document indexing methodology. PI is also the first company filings image database available on Alacra on a pay per document basis. It will be a welcome addition for our thousands of users who require this type of information worldwide."

Alacra will be on show in London later this year.

In December more than 350 companies at the very cutting edge of information technology will gather in the Olympia exhibition centre in London in what has become over the last quarter of a century the largest single show of its kind in the world.

The exhibition and conference, Online Information 2001, is once again being staged by Oxford-based Learned Information.

The exhibitors will be from around the world as well as there being many British representatives. Countries represented will include the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy and Ireland.

Key speakers from Britain and further afield also will be sharing the latest news and views at scheduled conference sessions.
