APIs are implemented by applications, libraries and operating systems to determine the vocabulary and calling conventions the programmer should employ to use their services. It may include specifications for routines, data structures, object classes and protocols used to communicate between the consumer and implementer of the API.

CGI – The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard protocol that defines how webserver software can delegate the generation of webpages to a console application. Such applications are known as CGI scripts; they can be written in any programming language, although scripting languages are often used.

The term Representational State Transfer (REST) was introduced and defined in 2000 by Roy Fielding[1][2] in his doctoral dissertation. Fielding is one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification versions 1.0 and 1.1.

The Intelligent Information Management Platform does just that. It is an end-to-end solution for finding, securing and managing (taking action on) this information while auditing every change. Our unique classification feature offers both pre-built classification modules (ex. HIPAA) and an “add-your-own” feature.

More on the company philosophy:

We are dedicated to providing enterprise-class solutions for the management of unstructured information found in files and email. As a pioneering developer of information management technologies, the company employs advanced, patent-pending techniques to both classify information with certainty, and take action on that information according to business policy.

The key to managing unstructured information is - to find it based on relevant content, the ability to take action on it, audit everything, and to do this all constantly and automatically. The Intelligent Information Management Platform does just that. It is an end-to-end solution for finding, securing and managing (taking action on) this information while auditing every change. Our unique classification feature offers both pre-built classification modules (ex. HIPAA) and an “add-your-own” feature. The company’s discovery functionality offers a much wider and accurate view of an enterprise's information, utilizing much less storage than full text index-based management approaches.

In addition, we provide more than just innovative technology.
