Peer-to-peer spreadsheet searching
Brand new technology unifies data from many locations
How would you like to search for a part, an order or a resource in hundreds
or thousands of locations simultaneously? BadBlue's new real-time spreadsheet
search technology (SST) lets you set up a private network to find the data you need.
Today's business environment requires the ability to communicate and securely share
information quickly. BadBlue's new spreadsheet search technology lets
organizations securely search for data in remote locations. Used in applications
where data can't easily be unified, SST marks a major breakthrough in organizational
networking.
Consider the following simple example. A consulting firm with many offices needs to find a
resource with a specific skill-set for a critical engagement. Using SST, the firm
is able to search each of the various offices' resource spreadsheets in real-time.
Answers are returned along with requisite office contact information, supporting both
email or human-to-human interaction (via instant-messaging or phone).

How SST works
SST incorporates a variety of features that makes it easy to configure a private
network. From a business standpoint, one compelling feature is BadBlue's subscription
capability which makes it possible for customers to create a subscription-based network
in which participants can be granted or denied access. The subscription engine can
create a recurring revenue stream for various vertical or niche industries in
which structured data plays a role.
Other noteworthy features of SST include:
Real-time data indexing - SST can keep searchable spreadsheet data up to date on a
scheduled basis
Form-based queries - SST can take a complex, form-based query and return result set
from all participating peers
Security - customized handshakes and symmetric, private-key encryption can protect the
network from unauthorized access
Subscription - control access to the network to only active subscribers and generate
recurring revenue streams from subscribers
Real world example - powering a subscription-based part network
BadBlue is powering a subscription-based network of part vendors in a specific
vertical industry. Each vendor is equipped with a BadBlue-based application that
provides real-time access to an inventory spreadsheet. Vendors can search over a
variety of fields using complex query terms and relational expressions and return
results from other vendors even in doubly firewalled situations.
