ONLINE EDGE
Vertical Search Engine with Embedded Artificial Intelligence
A leading real estate portal in the US wanted to increase business by enhancing the user experience, the Online EDGE was used to develop a vertical search engine with high amount of intelligence that was simple to use but yet delivered the WOW factor. The search engine has the ability to extract and aggregate property listings from various real estate sites across the Internet and then provide a unified search interface. The engine embedded very strong Artificial Intelligence to be able to identify property attributes from all types of sites along with a unique deep crawling solution that can extract data from all kinds of sites and then index them within the portal. The icing on the cake was the user interface developed by using latest technologies like AJAX. The result was a more usable portal that increased the traffic to the website exponentially.
Location Based Services
A leading Environmental Services Company wanted to replace the paper based job dispatching system by an automated web application to increase the efficiency of the process and thus reducing the time and cost, the application was hence critical for the company. HCL developed the application by implementing AJAX technologies for retrieving data from the database, without any need to refresh the entire page. The highlight of the system is GIS based history tracking system. These complexities were hidden beneath a very user friendly interface that displayed the list of jobs and location of the trucks on the map. Thus a highly usable interface over a highly complex layer of technology provided the users with a highly usable application; this application had a measurable impact on customer’s efficiency improving it by a great extent.
Development of management software
One of North America’s biggest electronics and semi Conductor Company wanted to get more from its IT Infrastructure spread over the entire enterprise. The task was highly complex because it entailed constantly monitoring; managing and automatically provisioning various network elements, it became even more daunting because different enterprises combined to form a grid network. HCL’s Online EDGE was used to develop a web application that kept track of the nodal movements and updated this information real-time in the UI. The application had intuitive OpenLaszlo-based UI that displayed highly technical data like real-time information about system nodes in a highly effective and an usable manner. The result was vast improvement in the IT capabilities of the organization for the same infrastructure along with real time monitoring of the system that helped customer gain major cost benefits.
