Most of the actors of the Digital Asset Management market rely on the inadequate database technologies, unable to manage structured search and plain text search appropriately.
The capital advantage of ARMADILLO's technology is the assembled indexing. It allows estimating simultaneously all indexes of a search, such as keywords (documentary) or structured criterion (SQL).

These are some of the ARMADILLO software's advantages:

  • natural language search: plain text by keywords, on the entire index or a particular category and structured search by criterion linked by operators « AND », « OR », « EXCEPT »:

ex.: main chimney AND red fringed carpet AND year <1975 AND country = France OR Germany

  • keywords from an entire index and structured criterion corresponding to the category:

ex. screen access Rouen library questioning;

  • integrating the dynamic thesaurus that may evolve at any time;
  • integrating classification plan thesaurus that may evolve at any time;
  • availability of the documentary and administrative data for all searches ;
  • taking in concideration the rights attached to each document.

This technology offers great charge-hold results, even for the huge data volumes and complex operations:

  • dynamic access restrictions apply to the internal users or clients, individually or by groups (groups by countries, language, type of the support : magazine, daily newspaper, web publication, etc.);
  • distribution restrictions may apply to each element of a group of elements: a text, a particular resolution, a photo, an entire subject, a photograph or a group of photographs or persons… ;
  • managing of not only digital objects, but also the collections of objects, the subdivisions of the collections (ex.: report / photo / item…);
  • an important number of meta data guiding to dozens of indexes (search accelerators);
  • thesaurus management with an unlimited descriptors hierarchy.
