Case Study: KnowWho achieves rapid nationwide government data coverage with Connotate

Keeping Tabs on 250,000 Government Officials and their Staffs with a Simple Point-and-Click Interface

KnowWho compiles contact and background data on elected officials, their staffs, and government relations professionals to power data services, web services, and CRM tools. As the company expanded from Congress and all 50 states into county and municipal coverage, it faced the challenge of monitoring tens of thousands of local officials across poorly formatted and frequently changing government websites. To solve this, KnowWho turned to Connotate and its point-and-click platform for tracking changes and building new data sources.

Connotate implemented automated change detection, flexible scheduling, and onsite deployment to help KnowWho monitor federal, state, county, and municipal data more efficiently. The result was coverage of more than 250,000 government officials and staff nationwide, with timely alerts, improved data quality, and greater production efficiency. Connotate enabled KnowWho to rapidly scale at a lower cost and bring a high-quality product to market faster.
