OUR NEW REALITY

Today’s leaders must make real-time decisions amidst a constantly changing sea of information while their enterprises are being bombarded with new information that can hold the key to monumental gains. The volume of data is simply staggering. A recent study suggests that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created on a daily basis. Critical success factors to overcoming this challenge are threefold: (1) identifying the right data sources among the millions of websites, blogs, social media, and databases; (2) pinpointing which data among those sources is valuable or useful; and (3) sifting through that data to inform decision-making, avoid unacceptable risk, and effectively exploit competitive advantage.

Further complicating this challenge is that data exists in a variety of formats, locations, and sources. Historical information holds valuable knowledge but may include volumes of printed materials; conversely, more structured, modern databases can present information in an untold number of formats. These disparate and constantly growing data sets make it difficult – or, in some cases, nearly impossible – to quickly find the right information needed to make an informed decision. Overcoming this challenge, however, simultaneously creates vast opportunities. To realize these opportunities, organizations must rapidly adapt, effectively leverage their most important data, and synthesize information to support intelligent decisions and accurate predictions.

THE CURRENT TREND - “BIG DATA”

A single web search of the term “Big Data” will show industry’s degree of investment and posturing in “analytics” for the sake of profit. There are countless solutions available designed by self-proclaimed “leaders in the market.” Many of these platforms are adaptations that began their development cycles several years ago. As such, these are legacy solutions which have peaked in their ability to immediately and economically solve problems. Many are hardware intensive, designed around proprietary computing platforms, or require ongoing custom software development. These factors drive spiraling incremental expenses and an inflated total cost of ownership. With each quarter that passes, leaders must watch as the cost of these “first to market” systems increases while dated technology depreciates and analytic concepts lose ground against the influx of data.

OUR SOLUTION: CANDOR™

In response to these challenges – and in departure from current trends – Aveshka, Inc. along with IKANOW, has developed an industry changing analytical platform – called Candor™ – which is cloud based and open architecture. Unlike other platforms in the industry, it was designed specifically to be easily accessible and updatable – and is based on the latest analytics technologies available.

Candor™ is a web-enabled data analytics solution based on natural language processing – a field of artificial intelligence that allows technology to derive meaning from human language. Candor™ is designed to sift through targeted data sets and efficiently and intelligently analyze the data for meaning. As a result, Candor™ instantly draws linkages between seemingly unrelated pieces of data that previously would have taken an analyst weeks or months to connect. Hidden relationships are easily

Candor™ is a full service solution consisting of an advanced, cloud-based data analytics platform, supported by experts in data analytics and intelligence, with customizable methodologies for

solving complex analytic challenges in the modern “Big Data” world.

Data type independent and open source access

discerned, sentiment determined, relevance quantified, and data can be “tagged” based on geographic location, date, or an individual. This information is presented to users via a suite of customizable, high-performance visualization tools that include a document browser, sentiment analysis graph, relationship map, timeline of relevant events, and multiple other user-friendly outputs. The graphic below summarizes the data sources that may be used and presents several of the visualization tools available in the Candor™ platform.

Candor™ has the ability to continuously harvest and mine thousands of data sources to track, in real time, items ranging from transactions, documents, or transactional or other financial records, to suspicious activity, individual behavior, or the movement of people or goods – without being detected. The Candor™ platform is highly customizable such that data sets can be added based on customer needs and additional visualization outputs created depending on analytical requirements. In addition, individual, customizable algorithms (such as those for fraud detection, risk analysis, or even voter likelihood) can be easily introduced into the analytical platform, enabling the processing of an infinitely expandable amount of data combined with the simultaneous analysis of that data. This approach transforms information into intelligence and provides analysts with confidence in critical decision-making.
