You don't have time to update the directory of Internet resources on your Web site…

You want to regulate the use of the Internet in your company and optimize access via your intranet…

Cybion can help you and offers both the expertise and the technology for effective information management within your company.

Expertise

Cybion supplies its skilled teams of information managers to help you define your needs and select the relevant information sources in your sector of activity or on a specific theme that interests your company.

These information sources are then organized in a specific hierarchy, adapted to your sector of activity or theme, for efficient information retrieval. You then possess a true directory of sites.

In this manner, Cybion has created and developed a directory on the world of competitive intelligence on the site Veille.com, and another dedicated to intelligent agents on AgentLand.com.

For almost 3 years, its know-how has been chosen by many companies including AOL France www.aol.fr, subsidiary of the world leader in Internet access. Cybion participates in the development of AOL.FR, a search tool that combines a search engine and a directory of Web sites in order to simplify information retrieval for Internet users.
Cybion has developed the directory component of this tool and carries out daily updates and additions to a database of 90000 sites and a taxonomy of nearly 13000 categories.

Stéphane Treppoz, CEO of AOL France, said in April 2002 at the launch of this tool: “[It] underlines our desire to offer Internet users tools that simplify life and enable them to be always more efficient. This new tool meets an expectation from users, who want to be guided in their research and to find the answer to their question quickly”.

(…) Cybion who, for their part, has designed the directory for AOL France: “the arrival of Google does not change anything for our work, which is uniquely the identification of French-language sites”, said Guillaume Lory, Technical Director. (…)

(…) The fruit of a work in common between AOL's computing department and the company Cybion, its implementation has been accompanied by a work of defining rules relative to all the maintenance activities that are required: creation of new sections, insertion of new entries, etc.
(…)Leaving Cybion the task of integrating the directory with its platform, AOL France has chosen to take responsibility itself for the implementation of the site architecture. (…)

A technology…

The technology developed by Cybion to manage directories of Internet resources can be easily adapted to all computing environments thanks to its ease of use.
Cybion Portal is available for all companies that wish to structure and control their informational universe, on their activity and/or sector, by capitalizing the data and sharing it on an intranet or Web portal.

Features:

Unlimited number of sites:
An unlimited number of sites can be entered in the directory database. Additions can be made on the basis of user suggestions.

Integrated search engine:
To find a site among all those contained in the directory, a keyword-based search engine is available to users. This search engine offers many search options.

Easy category management:
The directory can contain as many categories as necessary and an internal system makes it possible to optimize their coherence. A single site can be added to more than one category and the insertion date enables the system to automatically maintain a page of new additions. For each site, it is possible to symbolize its linguistic origin.

Options for better use:
The creation of a mailing list enables a newsletter to be sent. Cybion has also developed a script capable of converting bookmark files into databases that can be immediately used by the directory.
