Sometimes a computer system is most useful when you don’t need to use it! Corvus provides automated reports and notifications so that daily reports can be sent to users automatically. The range and scope of these reports can vary dramatically, from simple daily management information, to detailed data quality exception reports. It is equally simple for the frequency to be controlled per report. Some reports might only being needed once a month, whereas others might be required daily.

Smart Notifications – The Corvus Change Tracking Engine

Corvus provides a change tracking engine, allowing users to register an interest in a particular entity (for example a person, location, vehicle etc). When a record attached to this entity changes (or is added) the user will be notified (normally via email). The notifications are configurable for each user so that they may be delivered immediately for when change is critical or batched together for a weekly summary, either way each user keeps control of the tracking notifications they receive. At all times the security layer within the application ensures that users that don’t have permission to see certain records don’t get notified that they have been created or changed.

Supporting the change tracking of entities, Corvus has a record scoring engine which allows users to be notified of new records when they reach a certain score. For example you may have a specialist unit that investigates theft of physical money. In this case, knowing a record states “theft” is not enough to filter out irrelevant records,. Therefore the Corvus change tracking engine allows users to score the words in the record (for example “theft”, “money”, “cash”, etc), so that they will only be notified when the record matches enough of the words. This way a record that’s simply “theft” will not score high enough, similarly a record regarding “money transfer” won’t score highly enough either, but “theft of cash” will. This means you only get notified about the records you are really interested in.

Corvus Reports

The Corvus automatic reporting engine is used by our customers for a vast range of requirements. Some choose to use it to generate their statutory legal reports, resulting in the effort spent being no greater than the effort required to send an email. Other customers choose a range of data quality and management information reports to be sent out on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, meaning they receive the answers to questions they need, but no longer have to spend the time asking those questions.

Our range of reporting and notification services is extensive and most of our customers choose to have custom extensions on many of their reports. A selective list of examples is shown below:
