Point Certant at SharePoint, Confluence, shared drives and exports. It works out how your documents connect, and answers with the page each answer came from.

More than 120,000 pages processed in production.

QuestionExample

"Has a member ever had fees waived after a natural disaster?"

Yes, twice. The board approved a twelve-month waiver in January 2020 and again in March 2022, both times for members in a declared disaster area.

Board minutes, 14 March 2022 · item 6Board minutes, 22 January 2020 · item 3

The two sets of minutes were filed in different places, two years apart.

No migration

Leave documents where they are

You don't have to move everything into a new system first. Certant reads documents where they already live, and takes file drops, scheduled exports, data sent through the API and forwarded email.

It then works out what matters in your organisation, such as members, contracts, sites and policies, and how they connect. Your chatbots, agents and search all run on that one model.

How it works

How scattered files become one source

Once you connect the sources, Certant reads the files and works out how they join up.

  1. Connect your sources Point Certant at the stores and feeds you already have.
  2. It reads each file Each kind of file gets a reader that keeps headings, sections and tables intact.
  3. It connects the pieces "Worker", "Staff" and "Employee" become one thing, linked to every document that mentions it.
  4. Ask in plain English Answers cite the page, and say when older documents disagree.

Questions

Before you connect anything

What solutions unify fragmented enterprise data into a single source?

A knowledge platform that reads documents where they live, works out how they connect, and answers with citations. Certant does this for documents and feeds, and the same model sits behind its chatbots, agents and analytics.

Do we have to migrate our documents?

No. Certant reads them in place from SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive, Box and S3, and also takes file drops, scheduled exports, the API and forwarded email.

Can it include data from our databases?

Yes, as scheduled exports or through the API. Each delivery is checked and kept on file.

What happens when two documents disagree?

Certant shows both passages and asks the owner to decide, and it keeps a list of questions it couldn't answer so you can see what's missing.
