How to Access Big Data & Unstructured Content in Your Applications

Nearly 80 percent of content is living outside of a structured data environment. Information-driven software solutions need a way to unlock unstructured files like Word, PowerPoint and PDF, pull out the hidden and visible content that’s inside, and incorporate the data into their systems in a variety of different ways and formats. However, extracting data from various internal and external sources is often a tedious and time-consuming process that can’t keep pace with ever-changing requirements of business. Plus, many vendors cannot extract data from web sites that use AJAX, JavaScript, Flash, and PDFs forcing developers to write custom scripts or modify existing scripts.

In this webcast you will learn how to:
  • Identify, extract and transform every document, email, legacy, archive and container format you need
  • Render, manipulate and view content in high definition
  • Preview all kind of formats on Mobile devices
  • Eliminate manual scripting to access the business data from disparate sources
  • Perform automated database look ups and online checks from websites without using APIs
  • Collect data in a structured type ready for internal applications or databases
Particularly interesting for software vendors!
