Pinpoint Data, Pinpoint Navigation

Seamark provides IT personnel and information architects the means
to pinpoint specific information by easily integrating various data
sources (both structured and unstructured from both inside and outside
the enterprise) as a new, dynamic data collection that can be browsed,
searched, or queried .wayne.

There are also variants using letters or symbols, different-sized grids, overlapping grids, and other variations.

overlapping doku

Selecting the category
that is most relevant to the information sought, the user can
iteratively drill down into increasing levels of refinement -- usually
in only a few clicks -- and be left with the precise information being
sought -- if it exists -- or a minimal investment in time, if it does
not. "It's like finding an ethnic
restaurant by pinpointing 'restaurant', 'ethnic', 'Moroccan', and
'Fifth Avenue' in a 15-second look at the Manhattan Yellow Pages,
versus searching page by page through the White Pages for a week,"
said Allen.
Seamark uses a Web-services model which permits fast, easy
integration with other enterprise applications, and is highly
scaleable . Seamark offers a packaged, turn-key
solution that is as fast and easy to use as a well-designed , custom
knowledge management application while at the same time providing the
low lifecycle costs , scalability, and the relative simplicity of a
classical search engine.will offer a compelling product '," stated Allen.
Siderean's next-generation Seamark software, built on open
standards, is easy to implement into existing portals, browser and
custom applications -- often in a matter of hours -- and automatically
provides turn-key interfaces for use by both information architects
and end users. PlayFirst's first breakaway hit,
Diner Dash(TM), has broken new ground for the popular games market,
skyrocketing to the number one most downloaded game on top Internet games

And
sadly, once created, it becomes obsolete nearly at once, as the
underlying data grows and changes. And as the underlying data changes and
grows, the choices presented users change with it."
That Hobson's choice, explained Allen, is: "Do I send vast amounts
of my resources into a development black hole to devise and maintain
custom knowledge management applications, or do I let my constituents
waste their own resources, over and over, by endlessly crawling
through page after page of classical keyword-driven search results in
search of business intelligence?"
Now , they need to do neither."

structured and unstructured information ('Who is Buying Content

September 2004). Siderean's breakthrough technology
automatically organizes any kind of digital information -- whether
structured or unstructured, wherever it resides -- into intuitive
groupings that permit users to rapidly grasp the scope of what's
available and to pinpoint precisely what they require -- a process
that is proving to be substantially faster, more effective , and more
precise than existing knowledge management or search solutions.com

Search the Way You Think

What makes pinpoint navigation so effective is that it permits
users to search the way they think. Seamark overcomes this problem with
Siderean's unique, 'dynamic discovery' process. "Not only can enterprises envision and define entirely new,
strategic business applications based upon previously unavailable,
aggregated sources of data, but the generated applications -- and the
information they present -- are completely dynamic ," said Allen.wayne.
