SYL benefits

SYL search offers a range of benefits that are
almost impossible to achieve with even the most
sophisticated search and document management
systems.

The key to SYL is that it actually "understands"
natural language and can be taught to recognise
the correct definitions of words in their context.
Most words are ambiguous in meaning. Pinning
down that the Wellington you are looking for is
the capital of New Zealand rather than a boot or
a person, has an absolute impact on the results
that are returned.

If you have documents that need to be analysed
in any way, SYL can 'read' them and generate
appropriate meta-tags based on the criteria you
have defined.

So, rather than employing large numbers of people
to read, understand and summarise your documents
- SYL can work away in the background processing
your data into a functional asset, with consistent,
exact and relevant results.

Typical applications

• Analysing documents with security
  implications,where the fewer eyes
  that see them the better.


• Analysing documents that need to be
  destroyed as part of a Public Records
  Act requirement, where the significance
  of the content has to be determined
  before archiving decisions are made.


• Analysing documents that contain
  specialised or technical language.
  For instance in healthcare, pharmaceuticals
  or the armed forces


• The management of electronic documents
  which are part of E-Discovery sets in civil
  litigation


• Managing documents that need to be
  searched by a set of user-defined criteria


• Analysing blogs, comparing, for instance,
  how press opinion of a government or
  company has moved, or how public opinion
  responds to an event.
