Case Study: Large Government Agency achieves global media insights with Connotate

Government Agency Monitors News and Opinions Around the World

A large government agency turned to Connotate to monitor tens of thousands of media sites around the world and gain local, regional, national, and international news perspectives. The agency needed a scalable web harvesting platform that could deliver high-quality, normalized data across many site formats and multiple languages.

Connotate implemented a highly scalable web harvesting solution with 45,000 web extraction agents and change detection so the agency only received new content. Connotate has collected more than 27 million articles in dozens of languages, delivered in XML for easy integration, and the system is maintained by just 5 staff members, meaning about 9,000 agents per person.
