Page 2: Semantika Story

Meet Bob

Bob is a field engineer. He works much on querying data to support his

decisions at work.

Meet Bob

To help his job, the company provides him with a special app that manages his

common query tasks.

Meet Bob

...until things get nastier when the job requires Bob working on more

advanced tasks.He certainly has a definite limitation!

Page 6: Semantika Story

Meet Bob

The usual thing he always does is to contact his IT colleague to tweak the

app with some extra queries...

*hello Jim*

Page 7: Semantika Story

Meet Bob

Although in many cases such request may not get an instant attention...

So now Bob is unable to complete his task and the company is at risk of

losing money.

“Self-Service Data Query”

Page 11: Semantika Story

Meet Semantika

Semantika is a platform for building Java application that addresses data access and querying SQL database in

“plain way”

Page 12: Semantika Story

Meet Semantika

As plain as using the company’s “own word” when asking the data

Page 13: Semantika Story

Meet Semantika

So instead asking data like:SELECT cEMP_name FROM tEMP-XYZ_666WHERE cDEPT_name = ‘Company Life Potion Mngnt’

*omg*

Page 14: Semantika Story

Meet Semantika

Query can be formulated like:“Show all Employee names that work in the Finance department.”

Meet Semantika

It gives benefits of minimizing IT know-how in the company and giving end-

users more control on data access need

Lessons Learned

Querying data can be a challenging task.

Sole reliance on IT experts can be a *major* bottleneck that costs time and money.

Such reliance can be minimized by providing direct data access and intuitive querying tool.

Semantika serves as a platform that can add value to your existing query system without reducing quality of service and performance.
