Connotate enables its clients to monitor and collect data from almost any Web source, including the "Deep Web." Unlike other Web data collection solutions, Connotate offers a simple point-and-click tool that enables non-technical users to aggregate Web data faster and more reliably than a programmatic approach which requires HTML knowledge and scripting. Connotate is language-agnostic and returns data formatted and categorized based on the user's preference, meaning that the user can receive real-time information updates, regardless of the source language or format, in an easily modifiable digital "library." Provided one has the necessary credentials, Connotate can also retrieve data in real-time from private databases, information repositories, email servers and legacy applications.
