Memex users often want to be able to expand their search capabilities to data which sits outside of their Memex database, in a plethora of different ‘unstructured’ formats such as Microsoft Office documents and PDF files.
This kind of search capability dramatically enhances an organization’s processes, increasing efficiency and effectiveness, and is now possible, through an innovative partnership between Memex and Oracle, the world’s leading supplier of software for information management.
Memex utilizes Oracle’s best-of-breed ‘Outside in’ Content Access technology, used by software developers to access, transfer and control the contents of more than 400 different file formats.
The ‘Outside in’ Content Access component works behind the scenes, automatically extracting the text from files attached to records, preserving text attributes and relative positioning, and making the information instantly available to Memex Patriarch users conducting searches.
