Search

Organizations struggle more and more with the huge amounts of data they have. Furthermore, users expect each web application to provide the “Google-experience”, using one simple search box and delivering highly relevant results. Users are no longer satisfied with filling out an advanced search form with numerous options in order to drill down to the information they are looking for. Users expect things like facetted navigation, “did you mean…” functionality, etc.

 This is where Trifork’s specialism comes in. We are the market leader when it comes to implementing open source search solutions. 

There are currently only two open source, high quality, proven search solutions and that is Apache Solr and elasticsearch. 

Both of these solutions are built on top of Apache Lucene, the Information Retrieval (IR) library that has been around for more than 10 years. Trifork can offer solutions around both these technologies tailored to your specific needs. 

Big Data

It's not just search that is important, but the need for highly scalable solutions. Many of our customers need systems that can scale with their business and the last thing they want is run in to performance problems and scalability limits once their business really takes off. 

At Trifork, we identify your big data needs and then provide solutions tailored to your organization. For examples Trifork can help you get started with MongoDB at both the application code level as well as at the infrastructure level by architecting a deployment topology that fits your needs. Through our close partnerships with the vendors our customers are always guaranteed access to the experts that build the product itself as and when necessary.

Dataset analysis, recommendations and enrichment
It's not just about large amounts of data, it's also about how to direct users to the right data. Making the data available for search is one thing, but one can go even further, by analyzing the data it can be enriched to provide a personalized recommendations to users.

Trifork has extensive knowledge of the default open source data analysis framework called Apache Mahout. This allows data to be clustered and/or classified and provides the users with high quality recommendations.
