We've done some great work, for some great companies

mySkreen

Flax powers mySkreen, a French language service for accessing online television programmes.

mySkreen provides users with a way of finding legally available content on video on demand (VOD) services online, with a 15 day programme guide and a way for users to find, save, view and review programmes.

“We needed a very fast turnaround, and the Flax team responded to our needs very quickly”.

Benoît Bergstörm, CTO

mySkreen indexes over 1.6 million programmes, and features custom query parsing and ranking, spelling correction and faceted search.

iBuildings

“Lemur and Ibuildings, the PHP web development company, partnered for a delivery at the start of 2009 for a major UK TV channel. The work itself is of strategic importance to that business, and the exact nature of the project confidential.

What we can say is that the skills of Lemur and Ibuildings were utilised to the max, as the project demanded an extremely fast turnaround and deep knowledge of natural language search and sentiment analysis within a complex application framework.

The customer was delighted with the results, and Ibuildings and Lemur proved that their engineers work as a joined up team, delivering to the customer needs.”

myDeco

Flax is woven into the latest offering from Brent Hoberman of lastminute.com fame, mydeco.

This pioneering website lets you search over 1.5 million items from hundreds of suppliers of interior design.

Flax is used throughout the site, providing autocompletion of user queries and automatic suggestion of related items.

Results can be dynamically filtered by price range and facets such as Designer and Retailer, or by user tags.

Newspaper Licensing Agency

Flax is part of the Newspaper Licensing Agency's pioneering NLA eClips system.

The service provides journalists and librarians at the national and regional publishers with access to a central database of digital clippings.

NLA eClips provides users with PDF images of the original articles and newspaper pages from all contributing publishers.

University of Cambridge

Development of Bamboo, a searchable database for academic data:

“I have worked with probabilistic search systems for fifteen years and they have provided superb tools which I have never found replicated elsewhere.

I am naturally delighted to continue the link between the University and those who who have worked in this field.”

e-Therapeutics
