LOS ANGELES, CA - September 29, 2008 - Fetch FootPrint, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence-based Web extraction technology and services to the background screening industry today launches a new “Data as a Service” (DaaS) delivery model for its real time criminal history services.
Fetch FootPrint’s DaaS gives background screening/pre employment professionals accurate real time criminal history data culled from hundreds of online sources without having to purchase dedicated software, pay upfront license agreements or make internal IT integration investments. “We leveraged our AI tools to develop our DaaS delivery model to eliminate the expense of court runners and the time consuming process of looking up online records manually,” explains Jerry Thurber, President of Fetch FootPrint. “Our deep Web search and extraction technology filters only the information specified and delivers it in any data format, from nearly 500 background information sites currently available. Information is captured in real time, never from stored databases, to ensure only the very latest information is returned.”
With Fetch FootPrint, background screening companies can conduct full record extracts from multiple online sites in seconds. Compared to manually searching, Fetch FootPrint DaaS completes a full record search 94% faster, drastically increasing productivity - and profitability. As criminal record Websites change and new sites become available, Fetch’s patented AI and advanced machine learning technology fixes many broken Web links automatically and adds new sites as they become available, freeing client manpower to concentrate on other business critical tasks.
A trusted provider to six of the top ten largest background check screening companies in the industry, Fetch FootPrint currently processes over 3.2 million transactions each year - and growing. “On average, our FootPrint clients are realizing a cost savings of two to four times investment on our criminal history search services,” adds Thurber.
