Columba Global Systems (Columba) is an Irish company built on specialist domain experience in the provision of sophisticated information technology solutions. In particular, solutions as relate to Rapid Search & Retrieve, Rapid Application Development and Expressive Objects based user interfaces. The integration of these features is represented in Columba's unique exprimer® architecture, on which the company base their Total Data Fusion solution set.
A New Generation of Intelligence Driven Applications
Columba have made it possible to 'federate' and intelligently 'fuse' a large number of data sources into a meaningful and consistent view for a range of industries, in particular, Homeland Security, eGovernment, Airline/Transportation, Health, Media, Telecommunications and Finance.
Over 80% of potentially useful data resides outside of the organisation in public domain or OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) sources and formats. These include web-based news sources, blogs, broadcasting feeds and archives, podcasts and a rapidly expanding number of sources across the web and 'hidden web' and moreover, in a variety of languages. The 'federation' and 'fusion' of the totality of this data, in combination with existing in-house or legacy systems data, delivers powerful new capabilities within an organisation, particularly those requiring a 'Single View' of the Customer, Product or Target.
Columba's approach to Intelligent Data Fusion uses both its own proprietary technology - exprimer® - as well as providing integration across the products of other specialist vendor partners within a Data Fusion Global Technology Alliance.
The approach taken enables consolidation of a universe of data within a rapid search and retrieve environment - whether the requested data is contained across silos in the organisation or permeating the universal OSINT environment - irrespective of language and format. A corner-stone of the exprimer® approach is the usage of an internationally accepted interoperability standard - ISO 23950. |
