David White

David White (CEO) is a 20 year veteran of the Technology industry and has held senior technology positions in a number of FTSE 100 companies, most recently the role of 'Head of Technology Innovation' for The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). David's hands-on management skills are complemented by extensive experience in consulting, having worked with a number of the world's largest consultancy practises to deliver client value. These consultancy assignments, together with operational roles running support and development-teams for clients such as EDS, Xerox, Glaxo & RBS have given David a unique perspective into how search can make a difference to an organisation, and the route that an organisation needs to take in order to realise optimal value from data through innovative information retrieval solutions.

E-Discovery. Using Kusiri solutions, locating an email or document that refers to a specific client, transaction or theme has never been easier. With the flexibility to identify names, concepts and themes at a paragraph level, whilst ignoring incidental mentions elsewhere, the process of investigation becomes a lot less time consuming.

Relationship Identification. The ability to interrogate large amounts of unstructured data for relationships between organisations and people, enables investigation and due diligence to be completed quicker and to a greater depth.

Notification. A Kusiri information retrieval solution will sit in the background and monitor news and industry feeds and notify you of events that require futher investigation. Combined with the powerful summarisation functionality, the overhead of this critical function can be dramatically reduced.
