Overview
Data is the driving force behind every business. However, to seize the information advantage and use data as a decision-making resource, businesses must leverage the power of both structured data contained in relational databases and unstructured data trapped in documents, spreadsheets, email messages, machine logs, and other data sources.
Purpose-built to handle unstructured data, Astera ReportMiner is an automated data extraction solution that combines the ease of use of rule-based data extraction with the power of an enterprise-grade ETL engine to help businesses streamline the extraction, transformation, and integration of data trapped in complex documents and unstructured data files.
The intuitive interface of Astera ReportMiner, an enterprise-grade data extraction solution, offers users the ability to construct reusable extraction templates without coding and extract documents in bulk as they are received. With process orchestration, users can automate report mining and downloading tasks, whilst cutting manual data extraction, reducing human error, and increasing cost savings.
How A Data Extraction Solution Works
To capitalize on the explosive growth of unstructured data, businesses need a data extraction solution that can capture, transform, and convert unstructured data into a format compatible with their business systems or data warehousing and visualization solutions.
