Approximately 1/3 of time spent at work is on tasks that can be automated.Just the time devoted to searching and organizing documents costs an average company 37K per person per year.
Pingar can’t help you write emails or create presentations. But it can rescue much of the time and costs spent on other tasks related to unstructured documents.
Examples:Creating a search report without the need of visiting each link in search resultsAnalyzing thousands of emails released by Enron and detecting interesting pattern in theseA SharePoint webpart that helps users formulate their query and understand search resultsHelp editing documents, e.g. removing all the sensitive information from them (redaction, sanitization)Gathering information by summarizing documentsMetadata is information about documents that can be used for filtering search results. People avoid creating metadata – they already spent time creating documents, they don’t want to spend time organizing them. Pingar generates metadata on the fly – it automatically extracts keywords, identifies names of places, companies, people.
