Data Acquisition

Using our bespoke data acquisition software you can gather vast quantities of information for more informed decisions

Data Acquisition

Data mining assumes that we have adequate data to analyse, sometimes you will have existing data and sometimes this will need to be collected. Data acquisition is a process where data of interest is collected together into a single repository.

Shore Tech Systems can:

  • Acquire data from the web
  • Acquire data from within your organisation

The data could be from a single system with identical formats or from unconnected and unrelated systems with data in varying formats. An extreme example of this difference is between a small grocery store's data and the data available on the world wide web.

The grocery store is likely to has an existing standardised data repository whilst the WWW has very weak standards, if any at all. This variance in data styles creates the need to find and self-standardise all relevant data before analysis can continue. Preparing all data into a standard format allows many different data types and sources to be processed as one.

Talk to us about how we can help you get the most out of your existing data or ways in which we can help you to acquire the data you need from other sources.

There is an abundance of data in both the public domain and internally within organisations. Data alone is not a business asset; to provide real value to a business the data needs to be investigated through data mining and then extracted for use within the organisation.

Shore Tech Systems offers the ability to efficiently aggregate information of different formats and from different sources together and data mine these documents to extract information and generate knowledge for use within your business.

Shore Tech Systems also has comprehensive knowledge of mining the largest available public data source, the World Wide Web. With such an enormous amount of data in the public domain, we can help you extract knowledge from this vast resource.
