ExalEad’S SoluTion

More and more players in the supply chain are demanding access to logistics data

Get accurate, real-time information into the hands of the people who need it most

The Good news:With the advent of data capture and transmission technologies such as bar coding, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), wireless networking, and Global Posi-tioning Systems (GPS), businesses now have a staggering volume of ultra-precise logistical data at their disposal.

The Bad news:Finding a way to deliver timely, coherent access and reporting against such massive data stores without encountering severe performance issues or incurring exorbitant costs has become a formidable challenge, especially in light of ongoing IT challenges such as:• Siloed information systems, with logis-

tics data spread across myriad internal and external business applications, databases and live logistical feeds,

• Escalating demand for access to already strained systems, and

• Deteriorating performance and usability as the scale and complexity of under-lying systems increases.

Deploying CloudView alongside your existing systems can eliminate many of these barriers quickly, inexpensively, and painlessly. CloudView search-based technologies can provide unified, real-time access to logistics data, regardless of source or volume, and deliver it online with Web-style speed and simplicity—all in only a few weeks, with no impact on existing systems, and at a fraction of the cost of traditional technologies.

a new use for a familiar Tool

CloudView Search-Based Applications (SBAs) leverage a familiar tool, the search engine, in a new way. In a CloudView SBA, primary information access is shifted from databases to the CloudView search engine index. This dramatically boosts performance as CloudView isexpressly designed for fast information access (‘read’ operations) by vast numbers of users against massive data volumes. Accordingly, it delivers information access with the simplicity and speed of a consu-

advantages for iT

• Unlimited, Low-Cost Scaling Scale in users and available data without

scaling underlying database systems; simply add low-cost servers as needed

• Vastly Improved Performance Ensure maximum availability and deliver

sub-second responsiveness regardless of data volume or number of users

• Real-Time Data Instantly go from serving day-old data

to delivering real-time information using incremental index updates

• ‘Virtual’ Data Integration Provide a Web-based, federated view of

data (including even unstructured data) without painful physical data integra-tion

• Rapid Deployment Deploy new applications and services in

weeks, with no end-user training

• Democratized Access Deliver “do-it-yourself” search, access

and reporting that is so simple and fami-liar you can extend access to operational field staff regardless of their technical skill level

advantages for logistics operations Managers

• Better Track and Trace More accurate and timely data concer-

ning the movement of goods

• improved warehousing and distribution Timelier inventory data and extended

supply chain visibility

• Greater Reactivity Real-time operational reporting and

Business Intelligence for greater reac-tivity in detecting and responding to exceptional events and disruptions

• Simplified Search Easy data lookups using a single text

box and less structured identifiers

advantages for Executive Management

• Enhanced Competitiveness Open visibility for partners and cus-

tomers for select information, and an enhancement of your reputation as an industry innovator

• Improved Decision Making A federated view of information and

real-time operational dashboards based on unlimited criteria for better decision making and more accurate financial reporting

• Improved Productivity Increased efficiency and reactivity for

operational and support staff

• Lower Costs Reduced operational, training, develop-

ment and IT infrastructure costs

LATENCY & COSTS SLASHED

Deploying CloudView alongside itsexisting it infrastructure enabledGEFCO to cut data latency from 24hours to 15 minutes, and to cut itscost per user 50%.

“Why didn’t anyone think of this before?... Every day, I see t housands of events consolidated in real time and I log on to the system just to be sure it’s real!... The stability and performance of the application is astonishing given its highly innova-tive character.”

– Guillaume Rabier, Manager GEFCO

CloudView-powered Synaxio Analytics aggregatesdata across an entire postal organization,extracting data from business systems,datawarehouses, and production equipment likesorting machines to produce a highly visual,simple-to-use Web application that monitors andreports on millions of daily events—in real timeand with sub-second responsiveness.
