Data storage is straightforward. Adding relationships to data to produce information and then leveraging information to create intelligence and knowledge is a major challenge many organizations face today.

Data mining has become a fundamental methodology used by organizations with large and complex databases. Traditional relational databases for large-scale systems rely on creation and maintenance of thousands of relational tables with complex primary and foreign keys to maintain relationships between data and tables. As a result, relational databases require a tremendous amount of overhead in terms of storage and processing capability. By contrast, an associative database uses a vertically-defined data model that stores each piece of information at the center of its own universe of relationships. This allows for extremely fast queries and identification of relationships not easily found in relational databases.

Using powerful associative database technology, ETC can help you find hidden knowledge and relationships in large heterogeneous data sources (documents, data marts, audio/video, etc.). We can develop a custom application to assist you in document/image storage and retrieval, expert knowledge capture, and problem solving.
