Robust Decisions, Inc., (dba RDI Labs) developed software methods capable of revolutionizing how information systems capture, filter, retrieve, analyze, and present quantitative and qualitative data. RDI's Query Engine provides unique and significant value across a number of very large vertical software segments. Examples include social media (e.g., social media monitoring and social media marketing), search applications (e.g., ecommerce, travel and enterprise search), matching applications (e.g., job matching, dating and social networking) and selected enterprise software applications (e.g., business intelligence and customer relationship management). Unlike today's search processes which too often generate no results or too many un-ranked results, RDI's technologies enable existing search technologies to present users with true rank-ordered and single best match results. RDI's advanced search technology turns "search" into "find." RDI has one issued US Patent and 6 additional Patents Pending.
