Melissa Data Announces Revolutionary
Search Technology
Groundbreaking technology enables anyone to find, analyze,
report and export any type of information – ideal for
mining trapped legacy data
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. (September 15, 2009) –
Melissa Data, (www.melissadata.com), a provider of data quality and
data enrichment solutions, in partnership with SpeedTrack Inc.,
announced the availability of SpeedTrack – a new technology offering
a completely new experience in terms of storage, access, and
analysis of data. Powered by the Guided Information Access Platform™
(GIA™), users are guided to exactly what they are looking for simply
by selecting from the unique words, characters, and values contained
in the data. And SpeedTrack applications work with any type of
stored data including relational databases, text, email, PDF,
Microsoft Office documents, and legacy databases.
“SpeedTrack works differently than traditional relational databases
that simply store and index data,” said Jeff Pratt, SpeedTrack
Inc.’s director of strategic development. “Rather than just storing
data, SpeedTrack stores all the associations between the data and
what it describes. By capturing the associations, SpeedTrack enables
users to quickly find and retrieve answers contained in the data –
turning data into actionable information.”
From a single interface, users can perform standardized and ad-hoc
queries, plus view, navigate and perform comparative analytics on
the entire range of information contained in a database. Because
SpeedTrack’s technology works independent of how the data is stored
or structured, it is an ideal solution to mine and manage legacy
data – avoiding the costs and complexities associated with
traditional data migration.
“One customer, a regional police agency in Ontario, Canada increased
their use and cut the cost of managing legacy data by more than 50
percent using SpeedTrack,” commented Pratt.
