Find the needle in your data haystack in no time thanks to Elastic Search
Quickly extracting the right information from large volumes of structured and unstructured data can be a significant challenge. It sometimes feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. However, there is an AI-powered solution that helps you find the answer you're looking for in near real-time: Elastic Search. This blog post will explore its benefits with the help of practical examples.
It is known that organisations increasingly have more data at their disposal. This data can originate from all sorts of sources, such as from sensors and IoT equipment, CRM and ERP systems, or email and chat programs. This is usually structured data in a fixed format. It is relatively easy to collect, share and use this data.
It becomes more challenging when data comes from PDF files, images, and videos. In recent years, there has been 80 to 90 percent of all business data from this kind of unstructured information. This too contains valuable information that can help you to grow and get ahead. With smart, AI-supported search solutions, you can quickly find the most relevant result.
Common applications
But apart from searching internal data, you can apply search functionality in more ways. Here are some common use cases:
- Making websites searchable: users can quickly find the content that interests them most thanks to various filters (title, date, author).
- Making webshops searchable: customers can quickly browse product catalogues and see the right offer in no time.
- Improving customer service: helpdesk employees quickly find answers to questions, wherever the information is located. This allows them to serve customers optimally.
Elastic Stack
Elastic is a leading provider that gathers all your data into a platform containing the complete Elastic Stack, which offers everything you need to:
- Search for large amounts of data in near real-time;
- To present hidden trends in a visually appealing way;
- Integrate data sources.
On top of that, Elastic technology is scalable, so it's not a problem if more data and users are added. Elastic is also flexible, meaning the interface can be adapted to specific user needs.
PuurData is an Elite Elastic partner
As an Elastic Elite Partner, PuurData has extensive knowledge of the platform and can advise on all its capabilities. Furthermore, PuurData can assist with the implementation and management of Elastic solutions.
A concrete example is the renowned Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), which approached PuurData when its existing search solution needed replacing. MARIN now uses Elasticsearch. This enables staff to find the information they need to do their jobs in no time at all, from a vast amount of research reports, project documents and other data.
