RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
FOCUS
Research and development are an integral part of our corporate DNA.
The primary focus of the R & D is on 3 key business performance
parameters:
1. consistency
2. margins of error
3. accelerated turn-around
HOW ?
We regularly analyze real-world situations from our work context to
fine-tune and when necessary re-engineer our business architecture for
better performance.
Like many discoveries, we often find an excellent technique or enhancement
when confronted with unusual or new challenges. We then cycle this idea
through R&D to research how we can integrate it into the appropriate
process.
ENGINES
We develop and deploy proprietary software engines.
This has a significant impact on the value we can offer. Recent engines
have included:
JVIS's
"RapidFire" - XML Enhancement Engine
This is an engine that can process 30,000+ manuscript portions per day -
this translates into millions of transactions. And the results are
error-free.
To ensure this scale of processing - error-free - is beyond human
capability. The R&D team spent several thousand person-years in
developing this engine and many more in prototypes before finally embedding
it in our work-flows. We continue to refine it further.
JVIS's
"FuseNow" - Content Integration Engine Change has
accelerated in business world-wide and this often means faster response
times from CXOs. Changes across an enterprise - a new image or a merger -
can mean recasting and integrating content from disparate sources, locations
and formats. Fast. That's a real challenge.
This engine directly addresses this type of challenge. The engine draws on
the JVIS competence in structuring information from across sources - pdf,
word, legacy documents, Excel sheets, CDs or databases. The engine has
intelligence built into it for smart and high-speed processing. That means
fast results.
