Search

The search component of brandforce draws its strength from two key areas. One of these is the structure and depth of our metadata taxonomies. Successful asset retrieval is dependent upon consistent and precise metadata entry by people who understand the context and content of assets.
Efficient search and retrieval strategies are crucial in differentiating between a mere conglomeration of digital items, and a valuable warehouse of digital assets capable of being retrieved and re-used. Assets have value if, and only if, they can be easily and quickly located and reused.
brandforce designs and develops metadata, taxonomy and controlled vocabulary specifically tailored to suit your business.

The other key component of the brandforce search, is the powerful MySQL database lying beneath the application layer. This technology sets brandforce apart by answering your search queries quickly and accurately in conjunction with our controlled vocabulary libraries.
