BlackBall, The Unstructured Data Management Company, solutions to your document management problems. Imagine solutions that automatically and
intelligently categorizes, stores, manages, versions, and retrieves all of your documents including MS-Office, legal and medical records, and
Sarbanes/Oxley required historical archived TIFF documents. The digital world has overwhelmed us with mountains of documents that need to be quickly located
and retrieved.
Companies rely on significant investments in IT to empower its employee's ability to work effectively. They cannot capture the returns on IT investments unless
growing data stores can be effectively managed and users can find the right information when it's most needed. Unfortunately, the proliferation of data has led to
a more complex storage environment that makes unstructured data search and management more vital than ever before.
While your capacity to store data has grown exponentially, the tools needed to manage that growth and your employees' ability to find critical information has not.
One recent study found that employees spend 11 hours a week conducting searches within multiple systems, often without finding what they needed. Mobile workers
require search capabilities but face security and bandwidth limitations. Typical desktop search or centralized records and document management products solve only
a part of the problem.
Desktop tools search local hard drives and email, but do not provide true federated search capabilities that include shared resources like file servers and NAS
appliances. Records and document management solutions only manage data imported into their closed loop systems which requires data to be migrated into resource draining
relational databases effectively limiting the scope of the information assets they can be tasked with managing.
However, finding your documents can be frustrating and time consuming when utilizing standard file system and cataloging systems,
such as: NTFS and SQL RDBMS's. Searches can take forever and often return nothing. You want robust search criteria like author, company name,
title, case numbers, patient ID, document sub-headings, and invoice numbers. BlackBall solutions put order to chaos
by automatically organizing information and extending organization with user labels with meaningful descriptions to documents.
Our solutions offer the fastest indexing and searching using new techniques designed to address your document storage and retrieval
needs. Even electronically stored TIFF documents can be indexed with our various partners OCR capability.
SearchIn provides automatic organization and keyword query access to unstructured files.
Search queries can be targeted down to specific metadata fields, file attributes, or file content. Users can enhanced the organization of their
unstructured files by assigning their own labels to files. Search query results can be acted on immediately to provide comprehensive storage resource
management capabilities.
