# Clara

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/365979/clara

> Clara works with some world class enterprise who have asked the question: "Why do we still use 80's tools to manage and collaborate on complex datasets?"

We agree, knowledge workers need better tools that more accurately represent the worlds complex tangle of relationships. Clara has built a tool which uses Excel as a backend but allows enterprises to give row level edit access and keep certain data private for certain user types. Clara can also hide and show data as needed to make large datasets easier to work with and understand.


Some of our use cases:

1. Consulting - We work with consulting firms who create public ecosystem maps like - Insurtechmap.eu to showcase their thought leadership, gather data on firms (using our platform) and generate leads/sell access to a private version with more insights.

2. Ecosystem Management - We have a payments firm client using it to manage their client ecosystem to understand which clients use which of their products, which merchants are connected (via the same legal entities etc). In some cases it's hard for merchants like Visa to understand one of their key clients subsidiaries is running thousands of very small POS machines and there is value in understanding this and offering better service to a big clients smaller subsidiaries/businesses and merchant networks.

3. Membership Management - Associations and industry bodies that represent a number of members use the tool to manage their members profiles and promote their services. They also use it to connect members with other members where value can be created. The tool is used both publicly to showcase members and their products and services and privately with more data to make connections between members smoother and faster. They also use the tool to show their larger members the value they are receiving being part of the network.

4. Innovation Project Management - We have a client using the tool to manage internal innovation concepts (submission and vetting) and their international innovation portfolio. It's also used to submit new ideas (unfunded) and communication innovation concepts and ideas across the entire organisation. 

5. Network Security - understanding the servers and machines connected to them and any threats of holes in the security protocols.

6. Overdraft Management - FS firms can use the tool to see which merchants authorise payments without checking the account has the required funds and incurs a overdraft fee. With this knowledge banks can warn merchants or ban payments.

7. Code Base Management - We're working with a large consultancy firm to map out legacy code bases in an interactive tree view. This allows them to understand what large parts of these old code bases interact with/touch. For example many large banks have legacy software built with COBOL that no newer developers understand. Many are building new core systems around, on top of or adjacent to these older systems. However some of the banks key technology is deeply entrenched in these old systems. Our tool will allow their tech teams to cut away all the stuff they've replaced already (email servers or payment auth) and understand these code bases in much clearer ways whilst also understanding which parts of this codebase touch other parts of the business in ways not possible before.

8. Client and Internal Relationship Management -  use the tool to understand internal and external relationships. For example does the Tax partner know the head of the Canadian Treasury but nobody else has the connection (which is a risk to mitigate) or maybe a key client is only connected with one partner and associate and the firm needs to generate more connections to avoid losing this client, or which client is connected to which entities. It's also intended to be used internally for mapping key stakeholders, relationship managers and gatekeepers and other useful 'people' data.
