Overview

Mozenda is a web services company that enables its customers to extract and convert unstructured and semi-structured web-data into valuable structured data that can be meaningfully reused, monitored, marketed, analyzed and seamlessly integrated into existing data systems.

If your business performs any number of routine tasks on the web, chances are you could be saving time and money using our services and solutions.

Web Data Extraction

In today's business environment, access to web information is critical! Reaching this information can require touching many different news, product, research, and business intelligence sources. Having employees manually search and sift through data while clipping, copying, cutting and pasting important data to spreadsheets is burden that no company can afford.

Our data extraction solution eliminates the need for expensive human overhead and delivers exactly the data you need in the format you need it. Because our extraction process is automated, the costs are limited to only those fees for setting up the agent robot, and pulling the data. This is usually only a fraction of the cost incurred by companies having people do these same tasks by hand. If you know where the data is and what you are looking for and would like to extract the data into a useable format, we can help.

Research & Competitive Intelligence

Successful companies are quickly learning how to leverage the vast reserves of information on the internet for competitive and intelligence purposes. Whether it is monitoring your competitor's products, pricing and press, or analyzing financial data, or tracking trends in a given industry, the internet is a goldmine for those who understand how to take control of the available information. Whatever your need, Mozenda can help.

Our research and competitive intelligence solution allows the business user to define exactly what their data criteria is, how often the data needs to be gathered, and what format the data needs to be stored in. We have the capability of monitoring and extracting data from a wide variety of web sites, blogs, groups, forums, news sites, RSS feeds, government sites, and many more. We can use automated means to log in to sites, fill out forms, submit requests, and perform other requests accessing the deep web. Also, because much of the information extracted by businesses is actually repurposed into applications or made apart of reports, we can help you integrate the extracted data in a way that automatically populates your database and gives you an easy information transition.

Customized XML, RSS, Feeds

If your business or organization needs highly customized, real-time information ahead of the news desk, than our XML, RSS Feed solution may be what you're looking for. Simply identify the information sources, and we set up the agents to extract the information for you and feed it to you in a way you can quickly and easily find and monitor key terms and phrases. There are two types of feeds we can provide, XML and RSS.

XML is a standard format for storing, importing and exporting data for multiple applications. An option for saving the XML file with Microsoft's .NET Dataset schema is also available when exporting your subscription data in XML format. This option gives developers the ability to easily use the subscription data in applications they may be developing.

RSS is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts. An RSS document, which is called a "feed," contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. Our RSS feeds are not limited to published feeds found on websites, instead you can create your own customized feeds based on data gathered from multiple RSS feeds, blogs and websites and other sources.

Dynamic Information Integration

Many of today's business applications and websites require multiple data inputs from known information sources on the web. It's not uncommon to see these applications riddled with web links and other data found on several different websites. If the information is constantly changing, this adds additional complexity for the application owners to keep things updated, linked, and working. It also makes it nearly impossible to reliably produce commercial grade applications for consumer and enterprise consumption.

Mozenda has a better solution… use our service to find and gather the data you need and organize it in a way it can be viewed, managed and integrated with virtually any application that can draw source data from a database or spreadsheet. We can also perform quality assurance tasks to verify the completeness of the data and make sure you're getting the in the right formats and on time.

Web Mashups & Portals

Web Mashups are websites that integrate multiple sources of web content with API's to form new applications and web services. Sample mashup websites can be found all over the internet in industries such as auto, real-estate, travel, financial, retail, entertainment, online video, search, etc.. Many successful web businesses today exist solely by gathering data from various websites and consolidating that data into a single website that offers a better and more efficient service. As more and more well known sites like Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Flikr, and eBay open their API's to the public, more opportunity exists to "Mashup" your own data sources with these application API's to create new innovative websites, web portals and web services.

Whatever Mashup idea you have, Mozenda technology will play a critical role in securing, managing, and delivering critical data from our Mashup server to your application server. Also, because we own and maintain one of the webs leading Mashup websites for offenses against children called Predator Aware - www.predatoraware.com, we understand the complexity and details your programmers will deal with and can help them through each stage of development.
