About XSBOur unique capabilities are based in XSB’s Acquire, Classify, Transform (ACT) framework for this purpose.The Acquire component captures the data from structured, semi-structured, free-text and Web data sources. The Classify component organizes the data into categories or classes of similar products. The Transform component extracts product attributes and standardizes them to a uniform representation. The result is a true Master Data File (MDF) of current, complete, accurate, structured and searchable product data. The MDF becomes an actionable asset that can subsequently be used for many purposes, ranging from rationalizing the supply chain, to developing common parts libraries for engineering part selection.XSB, Inc.XSB_85c1a5fd-3dbb-11e4-a748-132e83db4d5cRupert HopkinsPresident and Founder, XSB, Inc. -- As President of XSB, Inc., Rupert Hopkins is responsible for guiding the company’s strategic vision and business strategy.
