The main benefit of working with the option of raw data is that we are able to provide far more flexibility to the end user as compared to offering him just a set of pre-processed data as provided by many content companies. |
|
|
Apart from analytical flexibility, when we work with raw data then options of displaying these in the form of a page is only limited by our ability break new boundaries. Given E Dot's strong expertise in data / content management and display this is an ideal option to bring a truly powerful and innovative portal to stand for a good brand name. |
|
|
Lets look at a few things that become possible with web pages when raw data is supplied. Mainly a lot of end-user interactive analysis capabilities can be developed for every data page when we go with the raw-data approach. |
|
|
- Visual Data Displays :Tabular display of data is the easy to achieve, but visual displays, if properly done, can enhance comprehension several times over. E Dot being very strong in the domain of 'communication' always proposes such approaches for discerning customers.
|
|
|
|
Essentially this means that apart from displaying long tables of data, wherever possible we propose to enhance comprehension by displaying the same data graphically or visually. GRAPHING COMPONENTS from our inventory have been used in many large financial portals to create over 10 types of graphs. These are lightweight and do not effect a portal's performance and are neither bandwidth consuming nor server CPU intensive.
|
|
|
|
- Handling Lots of Data : At times there is too much data to be able to get displayed in a single page. The more pages a person has to visit the more difficult his/her decision making becomes.
|
|
|
|
E Dot Solutions works hard on the behalf of our clients to bring innovative solutions to such problems. Our Market Map is one such example of a single window display of live market positions at any point of time.
|
|
|
|
- General Page Formatting : Also raw data allows us to be totally in control of formatting pages in whatever way needed to make a portal truly unique. "Information Design" and "Page Level Features" are the main things that we are able to excel in when we work with raw data. This is made possible because for such projects we normally resort to very sophisticated strategies of developing a portal solution right from the level of designing the architecture and databases itself. A high performing website becomes possible only when all aspects of the technological solution are looked after carefully.
|
|
|
- Data Segregation : A portal's pages are usually a mix of two kinds of data. Common data like 'overall market data' and "personalised data" specific to a user.
|
|
|
|
E Dot segregates data based on its type to make the Processing, Serving and Browsing activities faster even at the front end. Besides, for general data, E Dot deploys effective "caching strategies" to make server loads lesser without compromising on data quality. |
|
|
|
- Minimising Data throughputs : We work on a proven premise that the main response time bottleneck lies in the inconsistent data transfer rate of the Internet.
|
|
|
|
Simply put, the lesser data you send to the client the lesser is the probability of data transfer errors, which translates to reliable and faster response times. An analysis of a typical page shows that "format" load (page styling, graphics etc) in terms of bytes sent is usually heavier than the pure Data. This is especially true in case of transactional data where it is mainly numeric data that has to be displayed in strict formats. As a compromise developers often end up doing "light" pages that are non user-friendly and confusing. |
|
|
Long before AJAX became a buzz word recently, E Dot has been separating out PURE DATA and the DISPLAY LOGIC. The non-repetitive and non-dynamic nature of display logic also allows caching of the logic. This reduces data through puts to clients and enhances response times significantly. |
