BlackBall, The Unstructured Data Management Company, provides solutions for your search and retrieval nightmares. Imagine a solution that
can automatically and intelligently categorize, store, manage, and retrieve all of your files and critical information including spreadsheets,
pictures, audio, video, html pages, documents and emails, as well as compliancy required archived historical documents.
The digital world has exploded with mountains of digital data that needs to be quickly located. Finding the exact right file you need fast can be
frustrating and time consuming. Searches can take forever and often return nothing leaving you feeling like you are spinning around in circles endlessly.
BlackBall provides robust searching with the ability to narrow searches on specific metadata fields like author, title, company name, video name,
camera model, song name, last modified date, embedded text in files, and your own keyword labels that you can easily remember.
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.
Gartner warms firms of
"Dirty Data".
According to Gartner, Inc. more than 25 percent of critical data in Fortune 1000 companies is flawed! Gartner Research, Vice President Andreas
Bitterer said that poor quality, or "dirty data" is often overlooked by businesses, but it can have a large negative impact on a firm.
