  • Intranet search solution

    France Labs proposes to companies a flexible and secured solution. It allows employees to access internal information, wherever they are, whatever they are. The search capability has become the entry point to access information on the internet. Employees can access to their internal information much faster with a search functionnality than through a portal or a CMS. Contrarily to proprietary software makers, we propose a packaged open source solution, allowing to benefit from search technologies at affordable prices. The other good point of open source is that our solution is thus protected from mergers and acquisitions, as we have noticed in the past few years that several companies had been acquired (Fast by Microsoft, Vivissimo by IBM).
    Here are a few functionnalitoes proposed by our intranet search solution:

    • An engine based on Apache Lucene/Solr
    • The capacity to manage many different data source systems (ERP, CMS, ECM, DB, fileshares, dropbox, emails...)
    • A flexible framework to easily create new connectors
    • A highly efficient system allowing to manipulate millions of documents
    • Management of multilinguism
    • Management of security, including the capacity to synchronise with the existing LDAP or AD
    • The possibility to configure the search algorithm
    • The capacity to integrate with an Hadoop infrastructure
    • Several enterprise support schemes

    • Features:

      • Intranet
      • Security
      • Multiple sources

      Objective:

      • Reduce the time required to find information

  • Cloud Search

      Objective:

      • Externalise the search functionality

  • Research and Development

    R&D departments are both big consumers AND producers of documentations. If you cumulate this with collaborative projects that boost the number of stakeholders in the projects, you quickly reach challenges to find relevant data. Datafari allows researchers to quickly find the information they are looking for, be it research papers, technical documentations, presentations or call for proposals. In addition, our alerting service allows employees to get email notifications when a colleague works on topics of interest. Last, Datafari proposes analytics and BI tools that enable the head of the R&D department to analyse the trends in the his team, the research topics and many more.
    Here are some of the functionalities offered by Datafari to R&D departments:

    • A search engine based on Apache Solr 5
    • A quick access to the documentation used and needed by the R&D teams
    • A strong compliance with access control systems in place, with a synchronisation to the AD or the LDAP in place
    • A graphical framework based on Ajax and HTML5
    • Off the shelf connectors for many systems
    • An alerting mechanism to notify researchers by email for user defined keywords
    • The possibility to configure the search algorithm
    • Advanced analytics capabilities for the head of the R&D department

    • Features:

      • Multiple sources
      • Analytics
      • Advanved search

      Objective:

      • Ease collaboration and search.

  • Oil and Gas

    Datafari allows geoscientists to very quickly get an overview of all the data that are neccesary for them to decide whether or not to drill an oil rig. It indexes these data from heterogeneous sources, respects the access rights, and proposes an advanced search optimised for oil and gas business needs. Previews of important data, geomaps display and search, semantic management, all these tools make geoscientists more efficient in their decision making.
    Here are some of the functionalities proposed by our solution for the oil and gas industry:

    • A search engine based on Apache Solr 5
    • Advanced search with geolocalised search
    • Analytics tools
    • Semantic search and thesaurii management
    • Data display (including oil rigs) with previews and geomaps
    • Security management, synchronisation with the LDAP or AD in place
    • Big Data capabilities

    • Features:

      • Multiple sources
      • Oil and Gas specific
      • Advanced search including geo search

      Objective:

      • Fast decision making for geoscientists.

  • Call centers and support

    Call centers are consuming a lot of data, for two reasons: the identification of solutions for a given problem, and the identification of the customers on the phone, together with their discussion history
    Datafari allows hotliners to quickly identify the customer and his interactions history, displaying the data coming fomr the CRM. Answers that have already been provided are instantaneously displayed thanks to the indexing of the documentations corpora, be it from specific applications, databases or CMS. Some of the functionalities provided by our solution:

    • Connectors to fetch the data required by a call center (incident management, CRM, knowledge base...)
    • A search engine based on Apache Solr 5
    • The capacity to handle up to hundreds of millions of documents by scaling on clusters of servers thanks to SolrCloud
    • A REST access for an easy integration
    • A graphical framework based on Ajax and HTML5
    • Security management, synchronisation with the LDAP or AD in place
    • Advanced analytics based on ELK

    • Features:

      • Multiple sources
      • Security
      • Customer data

      Objective:

      • Enhance the quality of the interactions with customers.
