Information Services Overview 

In the past five years, the information services industry has witnessed exponential growth in the volume of data generated and consumed. Consequently, data extraction, storage, transformation, processing, retrieval, usage, and delivery has become challenging for an information services provider.    

In its raw form, data is virtually worthless. However, advancing technologies can turn it into a gold mine. Data extraction and annotation are critical in transforming data that can be fed into AI/ML models. At the same time, data can become "obsolete" quickly; therefore, defining the use cases for data collection and management is important.    

## Why is Data Extraction Critical?   

Information services providers must collect data at scale, cleanse, and standardize them with domain knowledge. Data extraction is the first step in this process, for which subject matter expertise is vital for bringing a proper perspective to data curation, enrichment, and transformation of data into actionable insights.   

Generally, information services providers need to extract data from multiple sources such as online web pages, government registries, regulatory bodies, directories, product catalogs, and various formats like documents, images, PDFs, and videos. Today, the information systems in organizations use external and alternative data to derive actionable insights. The challenge lies in effective data extraction and data annotation.   

An effective data extraction process should be able to identify and extract data from any number of raw data sources. Further, data annotation is critical in labeling data found in images, scanned PDFs, and videos. It helps Artificial Intelligence (AI) models identify specific data types and deliver relevant output.   

## What are the Data Extraction Challenges?    

Legacy information systems or existing web extraction solutions struggle to keep up with the more complex websites and security restrictions such as captcha, making collection sub-optimal. Most information services providers depend on manual data extraction processes to extract relevant data points from text-based documents. These processes are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Also, continuous monitoring is required to check the currency of data. If an information services company lacks proper data governance and management strategy, it will lead to data silos.

## How does Straive Data Extraction Services Work?   

Our proprietary Straive Data Platform (SDP) enables data extraction from multiple sources. By leveraging web crawlers and native data connectors, data extraction can be performed on websites, PDFs, blogs, RSS feeds, APIs, etc. Furthermore, SDP's intelligent engines clean, de-duplicate, and normalize the collected data. To create structured datasets, NLP and ML models are used to extract relevant data entities. Finally, Straive’s SME team of 500+ associates curates and validates the data to deliver high-quality datasets in structured or semi-structured formats such as CSV, Excel, Flat files, JSON, XML, and API for seamless integration.
