Austin-Tetra Background:

For more than 13 years and with over 250 Fortune 1000 clients (as well as the GSA for the past 3 years), Austin-Tetra provides a viable alternative for global enterprise business information services. Industry-leading data quality, match accuracy, improved customer service, flexibility to meet customer requirements, and significantly reduced total cost of ownership are main reasons why organizations have made a change from their current provider and/or prefer to move forward with a technologically superior organization like Austin-Tetra.

The cornerstone of Austin-Tetra’s offerings is the A-T Number®, a unique nine-digit identifier for individual business entities such as parent companies, subsidiaries, headquarters and branches. Using its proprietary technology and data match verification process, Austin-Tetra links data records to build corporate family structures for enterprise-wide visibility of customers and suppliers. The Austin-Tetra data-match verification process has an industry-leading accuracy rate - a powerful resource for customers seeking to optimize costs and relationships.

Services Description Summary:

Austin-Tetra provides services that allow organizations to take advantage of its 300+ sources of data aggregation. Depending on the category of services, these 300+ sources allow for up to 200 different data elements to be appended to a given site level business record. This data may include marketing related information, historic sales, diversity information, and socio-economic status, address information, company name, executive contacts, phone numbers, and credit/risk information. This data is updated on a regular and frequent basis from each of the 300+ sources. Advanced corporate linkage (parent/child) relationships between organizations is also included for our Comprehensive Discovery Services. Debarment checks against 8 major federal agency databases can also be used to ensure that businesses or individuals are not banned by the U.S. Federal government or on any terrorist watch list. By utilizing this data model, Austin-Tetra has a global database which can grow efficiently and effectively as well improve the overall level of data quality for each business record.

Austin-Tetra also has a matching process whereby we receive your input data and append up to 200 different data elements to a given site level business record. Depending on the frequency of delivery and the amount of data the discovery solution can also be an electronic match only service, or clients can utilize a multi-tiered match process. This 5 multi-tiered match process involves both human and electronic validation of the data and allows for the most accurate match process in the data industry today. The high confidence match file will ensure 99.8% match accuracy which is critical for supplier data management (SDM) and strategic sourcing type initiatives.

A client then receives the appended data via secure FTP or web services integration. Austin-Tetra also offers a solution for gaining direct support from the Austin-Tetra production staff via the iNet Business Information Warehouse. This web based solution can house your data at the highly secure Austin-Tetra web site and also provide users access to the global universe of business records. Additional modules to this web portal solution include business on-boarding or registration. Businesses can register themselves with a link from your branded web site to verify, update, and/or validate their business information. This offers a second tier process for being able to maintain the data even after it has gone through the discovery service on a periodic basis by Austin-Tetra.

Additionally, users can upload and fax in business documents that are scanned and appended to each appropriate business record within your agencies branded business data warehouse. These documents may include W-9/Tax ID Forms, Insurance Documents, or even marketing related type documents on those businesses. Once those documents are loaded into the iNet Business Data Warehouse, users can access their private view of the data warehouse to include the appropriate businesses where there is a relationship currently in place. Additionally, users will have searchable access to all business records within the global universe of data to allow for sourcing of new businesses and/or acquire new customers based on specific data elements and criteria.

This is an optional service that can further increase the number of records that are matched at the 99.8% high-confidence match accuracy rate.

iNet Global Business Data Warehouse and Business Registration Service

Austin-Tetra has developed a web-based global business information management and reporting application to effectively deal with the many business information/visibility issues facing our clients today. iNet provides direct access to the Austin-Tetra Global Database. iNet can be deployed to solve multiple information collection and access issues for clients.

The iNet Registration module is a cost effective and efficient method to collect information on any business record that remains unmatched after the Discovery Process. Further, our iNet Directory application will provide unlimited access into the entire Austin-Tetra tier 1 database to any authorized user, anywhere in the world. Further details about this service are described below.

Business Directory Module is developed to provide immediate access to global business information, wherever and whenever needed in the world. Government users can search against existing businesses, registered businesses or businesses found in the broader Austin-Tetra database. Using very detailed search criteria, users can find the businesses that meet specific criteria. Users can also get specific detailed information on these businesses regarding location, contacts, owners, diversity status and certification information, line of business, sales, size, parent/child information (corporate linkage), and more. This is a great tool for procurement, legal, and marketing professionals to utilize and access information on new and existing businesses. Unlimited searching and information download events provide the flexibility of information required to make the application extremely valuable. Users from around the world can access this information with no transaction fees.

Benefits:

• Cost effective, unfettered access to excellent business information.

• Search different databases for matches according to specific criteria.

• Users can access the Directory from anywhere in the world via an Internet browser.

• Unlimited download events of search results for up to 200 data elements.

• No transactions fees to access detailed information on any business record. Therefore there is no need for usage reports.

INet Directory is an annual subscription service. Overall total investment depends on the portion of the database that users subscribe to and/or total number of users to be trained:

iNet Directory – U.S. Diversity and Women-Owned Business subscription service provides access to over 3 million diverse owned or women owned business records.

iNet Directory - US Federal is a subscription service that includes small businesses, diverse, women-owned, disable veteran owned, minority, SBA 8 (a), DOT Disadvantaged, Disabled, Veteran, Service-Disabled Veteran, SBA Small Disadvantaged, SBA HUBZone, and Historically Black Colleges/Universities/Universities and Minority Institutions (herinafter referred to as MWDBEs). These records amount to over 13.8 million business records today.

iNet Directory US Comprehensive includes all of the above businesses as well as US large businesses and corporate linkage (parent/child/subsidiary organizations).

iNet Directory Global includes all U.S. diverse and women-owned companies, all businesses within the U.S. Federal service, U.S Comprehensive, as well as international businesses with corporate linkage (parent/child/subsidiary companies). This service includes a subscription to well over 30 million+ global businesses.

Business Registration Module/Document Capture Portal is a highly flexible, user friendly solution to provide government agencies a branded, single point of entry for their vendors/businesses. Business registration/on-boarding provides for a way to gather information about their suppliers or customers. Utilizing this registration portal, any matched or unmatched business can be directed to provide detailed information on their company. Businesses can provide all required general business information, business diversity/SBE data, business descriptions, SIC/NAICS codes, parent/child linkage, hard copy signed W-9 and Tax id information, hard copy certificates, insurance forms, and more. Prior to making this information available to the government, Austin-Tetra reviews this information and will work with the business to rectify any discrepancies and/or to provide additional information. Organizations can define the types and level of questions required of the registering business, and can access the information from our Directory application via searches against this database. Hard copy business documents (W-9 forms, diversity certificates, marketing related documents, etc) can be scanned or uploaded to each individual site level business record. These documents are then viewable for each site level record as a .PDF formatted document within the iNet Business Directory. Additionally, as business register, the results can be added to the previously matched set to further facilitate analysis. Combined with an email or regular mail campaign, this module serves as an excellent way to effectively and efficiently collect information on businesses. Each data field within business registration can be customized to be mandatory or optional based on the overall data fields required to be validated or completed by registering businesses.

Benefits:

• Most cost effective means to deal with unmatched and/or new business records.

• Allows a central channel for your businesses to provide information on their companies such as hard copy documents (W-9 Forms, Certificates of Insurance, marketing documents, and other hard copy documents).

• Can be configured to present specific questions to businesses that the government would like answered, which will be only available to specific users to view.

• Business Information Validation/Review by Austin-Tetra ensures the accuracy and completeness of the information.

• Extensive email workflow allows for automated communication between the government r and registering businesses.

• Risk Evaluation Services can be performed on registering businesses proactively to reduce fraudulent business activity.

• Key Word Search and NAICS/SIC code search options both offered
