Seasons greetings to clients and friends

Seasons Greetings from Flare Solutions

We've heard the word 'unprecedented' so many times this year, and we recognise that it has been a tough time in the Energy industry for companies as they face new challenges, and for individuals with uncertain futures.

However, as we head towards Christmas, we'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of our clients and friends a peaceful and happy holiday season. And, of course, we'll raise a glass to a happy and brighter New Year.

And for those of you that fret about needles falling from your Christmas Tree throughout the festive season, why not pop over to our website, and download your Needle-Free Christmas tree model.

Information Management Clean Up Services

Digital Cleanup Information Management

With over twenty years of continuous development, Flare’s Sirus information management suite now forms the foundation of our IM clean-up services.

We’ve combined industry best-practice in the capture and quality improvement of very large datasets with the speed and scalability of Graph technology, AI-driven metadata enrichment, and the most comprehensive Energy taxonomy available on today’s market.

The end result: whether your information is stored on hard media, live shared-drives or document management systems, we can gather, merge, and process it faster, and with greater accuracy, than ever before.

The Importance of Information Management Governance

Information Management Governance

Organisations have long pushed Information Governance as a focus of their activities. Its key elements of Sponsorship, Standards, People & Organisation, Controls, Technology and Processes provide a framework for all other related data and information management activities.

However, we still find that some companies don’t embrace IM Governance and as such they sometimes lack a coordinated and sustainable approach to IM. Flare has designed a number of governance frameworks for our clients and we’ve collated our methodology into a short paper.

Flare puts the power of Sirus into Office 365

Power of Sirus and Office 365

Flare's new assistant Ava is now available in O365 applications to help users with suggestions for tags, standard names or values from business glossaries and dictionaties.

So, if you've ever struggled to remember the official company name, project, reference code or just want to know what tags to add to a document to make it easier to find Ava can help. 

Ava sits right alongside Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and can also help in SharePoint.

Do you wish you had sparkling clean information and data?

Digital clean up

The phrase “rubbish in – rubbish out” has never been so relevant. 

It is not surprising that you struggle to find the information you need if it has not been stored with meaningful, consistent tags.

And now, as we try to get machines to do automatic tagging using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, it is critical that we train these new applications well with clean input content or they will tag badly too.

Flare has a range of tools to help; to help you make sense of your input information, even on a messy shared drive, to help you give it consistent tags, to help you find it again.  And to keep it polished if things change.

Is your IT/IM architecture too expensive?

IT IM Architecture

Is your IT/IM architecture too expensive?

One client had over 300,000,000 documents indexed on one server

That's not a typo.  We've been working with a client in the midst of M&A activity, who had to deal with a massive influx of content.

Using Flare's tools allowed us to index the entire dataset on one server.

Does a merger or acquisition threaten to overwhelm your organisation with torrents of documents and data?

Datasets Mergers - Flare Solutions

Find out how Flare Solutions’ approach saved Total Upstream Denmark millions of euros in the first eighteen months.

Olivier Mairal, Head of Data Integration at Total, said “...from experience, a standard approach on a similar scope would have taken about 20 years to do this manually with one-person EFT and a significant saving in terms of budget. The transition project was a success and delivered on time. My team did a great job, and Flare Solutions' consultants and tools were also solid contributors to this success”.

Flare’s taxonomies keep evolving

Taxonomies Evolution

Flare’s Taxonomies undergo continuous improvement, refinement and additions as new business areas, concepts and processes are required.

If you'd like to know how Taxonomies can save you time and money on Search and Integration projects or you'd rather benefit from Taxonomies than develop them, Flare can help.
