Information Visibility Provides Early Warning

Warranty expenses have become a substantial drain on manufacturers and improving product quality while complying with tight industry regulations is a growing concern across the entire manufacturing sector. According to a recent study by Boston-based AMR Research, vehicle manufacturers alone face an estimated $22.6 billion in warranty costs annually. Factor in media attention to product safety recalls and the threat of litigation, and it is no wonder that warranty-related issues are on virtually every manufacturing organization's immediate radar today.

Come see how ClearForest's Quality & Warranty Solution can use your organizations' unstructured text to:

• Improve quality ratings
  Early warning visibility for issue identification and root cause analysis
• Reduce warranty costs
  Improve cost management, allocation and avoidance
  Reduce information processing for compliance
• Increase customer enthusiasm
  Better visibility into customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction events

Find out how ClearForest's Quality & Warranty Solution:

• Fits in your manufacturing process
• Delivers competitive advantage

ClearForest's Quality and Warranty solution bridges the current gap between structured data analysis and the situational context found in text. ClearForest allows manufacturers to structure and organize unstructured content from warranty claims, satisfaction surveys, technician notes and customer comments for inclusion into quality analysis. This capability provides the information visibility and early-warning responsiveness required to systematically improve quality.

Webcast: Creating Prospecting Triggers and Sales Intelligence

Are your subscribers looking for highly qualified and timely sales leads and prospect information?

Attend this ClearForest web cast outlining how text analytics software can help you to automatically build a database of people and company profiles from news, Web sites, press releases, and regulatory filings. Because information is automatically extracted, it is now possible to profile hard to reach small and medium size companies and private companies about whom information is scarce. It is also possible to provide information about director and manager level titles which is hard to find, but typically the buyers and decision makers inside of organizations.

ClearForest's tools provide the granular information extraction and flexible analytics that are the keys to delivering greater value in this new business model.

Text analytics can be also used to monitor and create alerts for key prospecting triggers. Prospecting triggers are events such as change in management (new CIO) or receiving a new round of investment capital that might indicate a propensity to buy products and services. This information when fed into CRM and sales SFA systems empowers sales efforts with relevant information and up-to-the-minute leads. Manually assembling and maintaining this amount of detail using a team of editors is too costly and too time consuming. Text analytics can automatically and systematically build a database of people and company profiles.

Text Analytics Benefits:

• Broader set of companies can be profiled (private and small/medium size companies)
• Deeper profiles for each company (director and manager level titles)
• Prospecting triggers (management change, acquisitions, good earnings, etc)

Value Added to your Subscribers:

• Reaching more potential company targets
• Targeting the right decision makers
• Receiving timely leads

Webcast: Creating Derivative Database Products

for company, credit and financial (CCF) information providers

Providers of company, credit, or financial information are facing rising pressure on profitability as Internet search engines provide easily accessible, free content to every desktop. The explosive growth of search has commoditized the aggregation of raw information, decreased customer loyalty and renewal rates, and put cost pressures on the editorial process. To compete, information providers are exploring the development of innovative, high-functionality, custom packaged products at low incremental cost.

Successful publishers must place customers at the center of a new strategy that creates content independent of particular product offerings. Only then will they have the flexibility to drive more revenue by custom packaging information to fit the customer’s needs, delivering the right content, to the right person, at the right time - when and how the customer wants it. They are tagging existing content to create personalized, subscription-based products and are streamlining editorial and production processes for greater productivity and efficiency.

Attend this ClearForest web cast outlining how text analytics software can help you to generate very easily monetizable data assets, also known as rich metadata, from news, web sites, press releases, and regulatory filings. This harmonized metadata can be fed into a database where information providers can then sell the database, provide access to the database, or build an interactive application on top of the database.

Examples of Derivative Database Products:

• People, Titles, Expertise
• Companies, Industries, Products
• Projects, Contracts, Money Amount
• Drugs, Diseases, Phases
