Problem
Our client is a leading US based player in the global chemical industry space. They wished to have an extraction services partner that could understand the scope of the chemical industry, domain and segments.
The client wished to spend less time on guiding and monitoring the extraction partner on the scope and scale of the project.
Information management is a critical component of business operations. However, our client realized that achieving this in-house means concentrating their knowledge workers on processes that can be done equally effectively by a qualified third-party solution provider. This is why our client decided to outsource this process.
The Challenge
Prime Software Technologies was approached by the company with a huge assignment of extracting required information from legacy data like chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers, life science, biotech pharmaceuticals etc.
This included data extraction and as much product and property information as possible from technical abstracts.
The challenge lay in the fact that a high degree of detail was ambiguous and hidden within the technical abstracts, so that the extraction of this data called for a high level of technical interpretation.
The Solution
Prime Software Technologies quickly designated the assignment to an implementation panel consisting of domain experts, qualified domain specific engineers and technical editors. This was very important keeping in mind that international quality standards had to be maintained throughout the process.
Within six weeks, Prime Software Technologies began implementation after setting up the required workforce and relevant technological apparatus. Our expert extraction personnel along with our automated software helped completed 145,000 abstracts within a time span of 75 days ‿one week ahead of the schedule.
Since the client had accumulated over 7-8 decades of data, which meant different formats, styles and presentations, Prime Software Technologies was able to augment the client’s design and presentation specifications to deliver a value added end-product.
The Benefits
So far, Prime Software Technologies has implemented over one million abstracts in 18 months. A highly satisfied client has decided to extend his requirements to other value added areas like patents, news abstracts and indexing.
Prime Software Technology’s rapid scale up capabilities on the manpower and delivery front coupled with our technology focus, especially on proprietary software for workflow and extraction, provided numerous benefits for the client.
