DUMA (Dynamically Understand by Monitoring and Analysis), our flagship product, is a platform built by Vantage Intellica that can continuously monitor any digital/online content e.g. databases, blogs, news from many sources (traditional and fringe news outlets, social media, etc.). DUMA then processes and analyzes this data to provide a detailed snapshot of ongoing online activity, as well as offering additional tooling for custom research needed to build an insights-based narrative. The insights provided by the platform are context-sensitive and use a mix of off-the-shelf natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), as well as custom home-grown text analytics to generate insights relating to various documents, their sources and the content therein. Vantage Intellica’s machine intelligence tooling is customizable and can be configured to include languages or document types/sources that may not be supported by mainstream providers, if necessary
DUMA is SaaS (Software as a Service) product and is immediately available for use once service agreement terms and conditions have been agreed upon. The DUMA product service offering comes with unlimited user licenses, a training & customization package that will up-skill users on how to use the product, as well as leverage Vantage Intellica's expertise in configuring the platform to monitor the topics/subtopics/keywords relevant to the needs of the organization. This support lasts for the duration of the service agreement. Please feel free to reach out to Vantage Intellica as per the contact details in the company profile
Smart Research
An organization wishing to perform a sustained due diligence effort on what goes on in a potential new market would either need lots of human resources to go through an ocean of material or could employ a technology solution such as DUMA to help automate the filtration process to narrow the focus down to what matters.
With this in mind, DUMA offers the following tooling
a. Logical Categorization of Documents
Ability to traverse millions of documents filter them for what matters and classify those with shared characteristics and into logical groups that facilitate the easy traversal and analysis of data
b.Translation Services
Ability to instantly translate online content of relevance although it may have been originally reported/documented in a different language. This allows researchers to scan more material and increase the chances of providing more value in a shorter time.
