By improving access to information Knowledge Focus’s solutions enable the organisation to take full advantage of the value of its information assets. Solutions are highly scalable and can adapt to your organisation’s growth over time.
Solutions
Enterprise Search
The volume of data in a large organisation doubles every year. Hundreds of disparate silos and the resulting information clutter can threaten the organization’s ability to respond quickly to market and environment changes. FAST ESP liberates the organisation and its external and internal users from information silos by delivering a secure, integrated point of access to all structured, unstructured, and rich media data. End users can
solve business problems confidently and intuitively by searching through any corpus of content inside and outside the organisation and conducting on the- fly analysis and discovery.
E-commerce Solutions & Monetization
Today’s online consumer is in control. She knows your products, your competitors – she knows you. Are you ready for her? FAST ImPulse is a complete enterprise eCommerce solution that provides a more intimate connection between merchandiser and consumer to promote products effectively, convert browsers to buyers, and deepen customer loyalty. The transition from brick-and-mortar to online is occurring at a faster rate than expected. This is good news for your online merchandising investment, but with more of your competitors doing the same, how will you stand out? Attract new customers? Move the right inventory? If traffic continues to grow at this rate, will your current eCommerce system handle the higher volumes? The last thing you want is to become a victim of your own success.

Harvesting Information
Large scale collection of web intelligence requires a deep understanding of the technologies and tools that developers use to create web pages, and sophisticated capabilities in how you interact with those pages to collect the data you need. Kapow Technologies Data Collection Edition incorporates numeric and text string search, advanced relational page navigation methods, table handling, and user defined rules that help define relationships between HTML content. It is even possible to open PDF attachments on a website and search them as if they were web pages.
In addition to internal databases, valuable business data often resides as web-based content or in other semi-structured or unstructured forms, such as PDF documents, Excel spreadsheets, or XML files. Because these data sources are not structured, they do not have APIs to enable access and reuse, locking out important sources of data for applications and users. The Data Collection Edition allows you to access all of these data types, using our powerful visual scripting environment. Web content and data that you collect can then be written to a database, published as a web service, or transformed into a format suitable for use by other applications. And, to enable the execution of robots from with your Java or .NET applications, we provide a full set of C# and Java APIs for developers.
