Access all the information you need. On demand.

Data Access using PeerVision

PeerVision is an easy to use operational search framework. It allows users to search, in real-time, multiple data sources such as relational databases, intranet web sites, document repositories and other data sources installed throughout the organisation. PeerVision is much more than just a Data Warehouse tool. PeerVision is a complete solution combining ETL, Data cleansing, data warehouse facilities, and real-time access to corporate information.

Database-independent

PeerVision comes with its own optional data warehouse which makes it easy to store data from various sources. However, PeerVision can simultaneously search alternate structured and unstructured data sources such as QAS, GIS, LDAP, web sites, document stores, Google, etc. This can be achieved because PeerVision uses plug-in search adaptors that are capable of searching a particular repository and returning the results in a schema-independent, common format. This means you don’t have to load up a data warehouse before you can search for data giving you real-time access to your data.

PeerVision Schema-independence

The software uses a technique for transmitting search results across a network in a schema-independent fashion, a generic query protocol. PeerVision is not hard-coded to any particular type or structure of database or warehouse. A key benefit of this technique is that the underlying database structure can alter as database revisions take place but PeerVision does not have to alter with it.

Data Identity, Cleansing and Linking

Identifying duplicate records within the same database is vital for smooth and efficient operations. Our identity, cleansing and linking module will let you identify duplicates and similar records and suggest cleansing actions that should be taken. The output of this module can also be used to link together records in completely separated databases.

Security

A spin-off from the schema-independence techniques means that search results also contain information about how to display the information. Administrators can set up multiple presentations of a single record, For example, you may want to set up both an unrestricted and restricted view of a record. PeerVision can then be configured to select the appropriate view depending on various factors. These factors could include rules such as a) who is asking for the data, b) where is the request coming from c) markers and flags in the record itself. This capability means that you get to keep control over the look and feel of your records and at the same time you’re able to control who sees what. PeerVision also comes with its own forms designer that lets you create your own views and search templates.

Open technology

Extent Software strive to produce easy to use applications that are as open as possible to the customer. Because we ensure database schema independence, no data forms are hard-coded within are application. All search, data entry, summary and details forms can be created and modified by you. 3rd Party applications can start PeerVision searches simply by copying text to the clipboard!

PeerVision Summary

PeerVision is specifically designed to solve the data sharing issues. Its unique architecture and design provides a corporate solution to a corporate problem.

· Lets you search locally, regionally and nationally
· Search unstructured (e.g. documents) and structured data (databases) simultaneously
· Highly scaleable, Just add more nodes when you have more data
· Customisable data forms
· Customisable search forms
· Fully featured security
· Data cleansing module
· Web-based “ClickOnce” deployment

PeerVision takes the search for data beyond the enterprise. The PeerVision Peer-to-Peer engine allows simultaneous searching of corporate and external databases so that users may search millions of records across multiple sites. This means no more having to log into multiple applications to search for that vital piece of information.


PeerVision can search both structured and unstructured data either in-situ or extracted into the PeerVision warehouse. The flexible design means even esoteric databases such as Google, Microsoft Access and ISAM databases can also be searched.


PeerVision uses a plug-in architecture that allows a single node to support many different types of data.
