Instead of providing user with hyperlinks to documents that contained keywords, the required information is dynamically published by Compose’s reporting platform, PDF or XPS documents are generated on-the-fly in a way that is readily useable by the user. Pingar’s contextualised search capability is designed to improve significantly the quality of search result as well as dramatically reducing the search time.
