Exorbyte Search Product Highly Scalable and Configurable

Search and recall system innovator Exorbyte and its founder are the subjects of a Search Wizards Speak interview with Stephen E. Arnold, an expert in search, content processing, and text analytics.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) November 11, 2009 -- Search and recall system innovator Exorbyte, http://www.exorbyte.com/, and its founder are the subjects of a Search Wizards Speak interview, http://www.arnoldit.com/search-wizards-speak, with Stephen E. Arnold, an expert in search, content processing, and text analytics.

The interview focuses on Exorbyte's fully managed search solutions and Benno Nieswand, the company founder and chief technical officer.

"The development (of Exorbyte) was driven by the aim to provide a highly scalable and highly configurable search solution for structured and semi-structured data. With regards to the combination of speed and the quality of our error tolerance, we consider our solution an unmatched technology leader," Nieswand said.

The company's core product, MatchMaker, is a search application for structured and semi-structured data such as information from online databases, XML files, e-commerce catalogs, targeted online advertising or directories. The company also markets the Search Navigator for interactive search in online retail databases; the Web Extraction Solution, which is a full-text content database enrichment system; the DataQuality Server, which performs deduplication for large data sets; and Matchmaker OCR for automatic validation of OCR processes. More about these products is available at http://www.exorbyte.com/index.php/products.

The Matchmaker software can search millions of records and return results in under 10 milliseconds. Besides its speed, Matchmaker is noted for its unlimited error tolerance, meaning it corrects all spelling and other data errors on the fly or by "Did You Mean" suggestions.

"We offer more advanced, more transparent and easy to configure ranking... and we even make these algorithms configurable," Nieswand said. "That makes Exorbyte especially suited for applications that need to perform very intricate and specific lookups on vast amounts of structured data in very little time."

Exorbyte markets its products to several different sectors: E-commerce, data quality, master data management, OCR-matching, and more. "What they all have in common is the need of matching error-prone input data as quickly as possible with a high amount of reference data. Exorbyte can serve all these customers with its unique toolbox of algorithms assembled to a whole, flexible solution," Nieswand said.

He gave this example: "A healthcare claims processing center handles inbound documents (40,000 a day) and other processes (like electronic status inquiries) for over 120 health insurance plans. Matching claims with procedure codes, patient records, and other data types can be very difficult to fully automate. They saved one million U.S. dollars in two years by increasing the automation rates through our error-tolerant data matching with their central data repository."

The company sees the demand for search engines to power interactive applications growing. "Our experience is that potential clients increasingly understand the value of specialized search applications after difficult experiences with generic applications which could not sufficiently accommodate their business models," Nieswand said. "Also we see that search vendors who can quickly roll out and implement solutions are successful. As very specialized solutions can be implemented in ever shorter times, their benefits become interesting to a wider range of customers, in particular those who deal with large amounts of structured data."

"Exorbyte offers a powerful and useful system for handling a broad range of content. This system is worth a close look," Arnold said.
