Internet Search Services

Overview

The Internet is the largest collection of information in existence and has the most complex information structure we can think of. It differs from traditional information sources in 2 major ways: one, it is constantly evolving and dynamic, and two, the same information may be gotten from a huge number of verified and unverified sources. We might be justified in questioning the authority, authenticity and accuracy of any information sources. The inherent benefits of using the Internet must be balanced with the time and effort it takes to extract practical and useful information that has value.

Open Source Intelligence (OSI)

Vipana Internet Search Services alleviate the tedious and time-consuming effort required during the process of mining, compiling, indexing, summarizing and tracking information gleaned from the open sources. This innovative service is offered to organizations who find themselves overwhelmed with too much or too little information. Don't waste valuable time sifting through irregular, irrelevant, incomplete, inconsistent or inaccurate information. Tap into the power of Open Source Intelligence.

Your project might involve anything from manual data extraction to structured databases.
