ELISE is delivering meaningful, ranked results to your critical applications in a flash, no matter how complex the query is or how rapidly your database grows.

You and your users will be given more meaningful answers with the ability to set the relative importance of a particular criterion for a given match. Features like gliding scales and affinity matrices let you weight variations in criteria so that inexact matches of value to your search may be included in your search results.

While some search technologies claim to present ranked results, a closer look often reveals a simplistic scheme. For example, one common approach ranks a result based on the number of times a keyword is found.

ELISE returns more meaningful search results by mathematically determining and presenting a ranked list based on all your criteria and the importance you place on each criterion. You can easily fine-tune your search requests to closely match your business logic. And because each of your matches is precisely determined, you can even request a gap analysis that shows how each factor affected the final ranking.

What Makes ELISE Different

ELISE combines the best of both search technologies-keyword and database-into what we call "meaningful search." ELISE does this by:

• Applying affinities and weights sometimes used in high-end keyword search engines
• Employing structure in order to take advantage of the context and semantics common to commercial databases
• Adding highly scalable grid architecture and high availability features

ELISE works primarily with structured data, which will be of benefit as IT organizations increasingly implement SOA systems which rely heavily on emerging XML standards for web services and data exchange like HR-XML in the staffing industry or UBL in e-commerce. When you need meaningful search results from your high-end applications, ELISE is the ultimate search and match engine.

Business advantages of ELISE software

• Every query match will return the best match given the pool of data - a match will always be found
• Better end-user experience
• Flexibility in use and implementation
• In many cases a customer can take advantage of their existing technology- ELISE can be retro-fit to an existing application or data source
• Performance - speed, uptime
• ELISE can provide a competitive edge

Financial advantages of ELISE software

• Superior matching and speed enable staffing companies/job boards/government employment services to work more efficiently and fill more jobs per time unit worked thus creating more through-put and revenue adding to a company's bottom line. For government this facilitates the mission to get people back to work.
• Replacing expensive hardware and software licenses with ELISE and Wintel servers can offer an immediate operational cost savings

Quote from Elise Case Study, ES UK:

"We have no hard figures about the efficiency of the service," adds Gawn, "but it is obvious that there is a serious efficiency gain because now we don't need staff to keep printed ads up-to-date (publishing and removing). And as a positive side effect, the information is always up-to-date and we can offer a much wider range of vacancies."

Think you might be suitable for ELISE matching technology?

• ELISE is designed for use with structured data but if your organisation has unstructured data, WCC has partners that specialize in the conversion of unstructured data and the benefits of using ELISE will justify the effort of converting.
• ELISE includes tools that makes short work of developing and integrating your solution - and, of course, WCC and its partners are there to assist.
• WCC doesn't provide a wall-to-wall solution - an HR application that does job matching, personnel assessment, payroll and other HR functions - but we're always happy to work with your chosen HR package supplier to integrate ELISE into their offering!
