surveillance technical tour - Introduction

Surveillance edition

This tour focuses on some of the more detailed and technical aspects of Artesian Surveillance; we start with a business problem to solve and work through a number of simple steps in the product in order to provide a solution.

The aim of the tour is to illustrate a specific solution to a specific problem so that the view can gain some insight into our technology and how it works. However, our products have been engineered to be powerful by being flexible, all manner of related issues may be addressed using it plus a few we haven’t thought of I’m sure!

Hopefully through the use of this brief example we will have succeeded in providing the reader with enough information to be able to extrapolate their own surveillance challenges, and to initiate a dialogue with us.

The internet is a fabulous source of market intelligence search engines are miracles of modern science, ERP/CRM applications are wonderful at tracking your customer relationships and BI tools are great ways of aggregating and presenting performance data. It is important to clarify right off the bat that Artesian replaces none of these things; our goal is to provide useful business applications that leverage the immensity of the information source that is the internet, but in ways that are sympathetic to a specific company or department and properly integrated with its business processes; not something that's an “after thought” or “bolt on” to any of these existing technologies. In fact we often use search technology such as MS Live Search, BI platforms such as Cognos and CRM applications like Salesforce.com in order to help us to establish a starting point from which the Artesian products add value, structure and accessibility.
