Savant is a new kind of software, purpose built to gather, refine and deliver actionable enterprise intelligence. Savant is flexible enough to interact with nearly any data source, yet powerful enough to find the crucial information that will give you the competitive edge.
Companies around the globe are using Savant to cut through the routine flood of data and information. They are freeing decision makers and front-line knowledge workers from endless sessions of searching to find the right data at the right time. Instead Savant is delivering to users powerful enterprise information as it happens. They are no longer making important business decisions on data that is weeks or months old - they now manage their world in real time.
Our customers are discovering that their IT department and their entire enterprise has been consumed by complexity. They are, in fact, powerless to stop the gradual slide towards massive systems - it is the current industry best practice - and has been introduced over the course of nearly a decade. It comes in the form of well trusted and proven software from vendors like IBM, BEA (WebLogic), Oracle and SAP. Each one introduces its own special components and connections into back end data systems and internal web sites. Each one is a "platform" to build out larger, more complex business specific solutions.
The truth of the matter is that this edifice of modern "best of breed" software has trapped them into a web of complexity. They can produce solid software, but given the inter-connected nature of their beast they can not even start a project quickly to react to changing market and regulatory conditions, or to exploit a new market opportunity.
CFO Magazine, in its Fall 2004 issue summarized the risk:
“In a recent study of more than 20 large enterprises, Boston Consulting Group found that as time went on and these large companies acquired an expanding arsenal of IT, far from gaining economies of scale they were in fact left with "diseconomies of complexity." Think of it as scope creep on a macro level, as a glut of homegrown and packaged software, hardware, network capacity, and sundry other aspects of IT become ever more costly to maintain, impede new projects, and hamstring companies' efforts to respond to changes in the business climate.”
This distills down to the fact that currently there is a "one size fits all" approach to IT, and that size has reached Super-Jumbo for most IT shops, or is headed there quickly.
To address the growing complexity of modern IT, OSG has developed a technology, architecture and methodology that we refer to as Savant. Savant builds applications through a new techniques such as Content Integration and Enterprise Syndication. The core element of a Savant system, the feed, is built from simple patterns and code, resulting in systems that are 1/10th the size of typical enterprise applications (or smaller). This saves our customers money, time and effort in specifying, building and maintaining systems.
This new simplified approach has already unlocked new capabilities and features in the information that our customers already had, ranging from complex forecasting systems to reactive business intelligence and semantic information processing.
