| Description: | Mozenda helps users make sense of the unstructured data of the web. By allowing users to determine what information they need from a website and how that information should be structured, Mozenda makes it easy to turn static pages into customized feeds. Once data is obtained it can easily be viewed online, exported for offline use, or accessed programmatically through an API.
The connection of data from multiple sources allows users to have useful, up-to-date information, whenever they need it. This means that Mozenda makes it easier to create mashups, monitor competitors pricing, keep track of customer opinions expressed in forums and on blogs, and much more through a time-saving and cost-effective software.
Mozenda is different than current competitors in several ways. First, it features an intuitive user interface for gathering data from web pages. By making the process easier for users of all backgrounds to understand, we are opening the door for more people to find and use better data.
Mozenda also offers a different approach in how it is priced. Current solutions require large up-front expenses for software and hardware. Mozenda, alternatively, charges only a small licensing fee and a small, tiered data usage fee. Lowering the cost further opens the door for all types of users to begin better using data.
Finally, Mozenda is the first company of its kind to provide hosting for and programmatic access to the data its users acquire. Hosting data allows Mozenda users to review and export their data online at any time without having to purchase additional hardware/software costs or bring in additional IT help. |
