Many data-centric organizations spend significant amounts of time

and resources to acquire, aggregate, clean, enrich, standardize and
manage data, content & information to make it available,
accessible and discoverable to either drive operational efficiencies
or line revenues.
Lack of advanced context-driven user-friendly Google-like search
engines in the enterprise landscape has resulted in sub-optimal
utilization, monetization and ROI on data investments. 3RDi - our
Enterprise Search, Discovery & Analytics platform powered by an
advanced semantic-search engine helps organizations find,
discover, analyze, research, publish and monetize diverse, vast and
complex datasets from their data assets, semantically link it and
present it for consumption within new or existing business
applications & workflows, thereby resulting in faster ROI and
gaining a competitive edge.
Our semantic data-platform enables rapid data utilization &
monetization within data-driven enterprises and is supported by
our managed data & applications engineering and support services
providing end-to-end data & solutions lifecycle management.

The T /D G 3RDi Ad v a nt age

With extensive experience in
implementing feature-rich enterprise
search solutions for our customers across
many industries, we at T/DG offer a
comprehensive end-to-end
Rapid-Enterprise-Search-implementation
program, spanning the full solutions
lifecycle.
We work closely with your business and
engineering teams to first understand
your unique challenges, requirements &
data monetization strategies and then
rapidly (and this is key) synthesize a
custom solution based on our semantic
search platform tailored to your unique
needs. A typical 3RDi Rapid-Search
-Implementation engagement would
cover discovery, conceptualization,
planning, design, engineering,
implementation & support in the
following areas:
Data Acquisition, Aggregation, Integration

Rapid 3RDi-Accelerated Search Implementation

Data Shaping, Enrichment & Standardization

Search Relevancy Testing & Tuning

Search, Discovery & Semantic Relevancy

Capacity & Infrastructure

Iterative Customer-Driven Prototyping

Managed Support Services

Our 3RDi-platform-based Rapid

Enterprise Search implementation cuts
down development and release cycles
and costs by at-least 50-60% and
empowers organizations with
cutting-edge semantic search &
discovery capabilities with faster
time-to-market cycles at significantly
lower costs across Capital, OPEX and
TCO perspectives.
While Search will be at the core of all
3RDi-based solutions, what you get is a
much broader set of comprehensive
data capabilities that span data
acquisition, search, research, discovery, data mining, & analytics, allowing you to leverage organizational data assets to
the maximum.

The Semantic Integration subsystem manages semantic and contextual

linking and enrichment of data using NLP (Natural Language Processing)
techniques, dictionaries, vocabularies, taxonomies & ontologies that cover
generic, domain-specific and custom taxonomies and ontologies. A thesauri
and ontology manager provides capabilities to tune industry standard
vocabularies as well as to define and manage organization or
domain-specific vocabularies.
3RDi Search capabilities also extend beyond text search with image search
capabilities using different image matching & text extraction algorithms.
Search Relevancy is always a significant challenge in most search
implementations and is usually a major time-consuming and non-trivial
sphere of focus and effort. The 3RDi Relevancy module is an extremely
powerful declarative relevancy tuner and manager that provides a single
unified workbench for your power-users and search administrators to
manage and maintain search relevancy without any programming or
search engineering knowledge.
The platform cache subsystem is designed to enhance the caching layer
over conventional search engine cache architectures. It is designed to work
with application specific requirements, predict user behavior so as to reduce
cache misses, and to speed up search response times. It addresses some of
the common search problem patterns such as deep pagination, heavy result
sizes, multiple session loads and high frequency terms.
Our platform is built on top of some of the most widely used and mature
open source technologies and frameworks, with Apache Lucene at its core.
Workflow and audit trails are used to monitor and control the changes in
search behavioral changes, and any new enhancements in taxonomies.
A presentation layer offers widgets for search visualizations & workflows.
There are various ready-to-use UI widgets that can be plugged into any
standard CMS, portal or any other web based application. It also exposes
RESTful APIs for external consumption.
