Unstructured Platform: Bridging Elasticsearch and OneDrive

The Unstructured Platform is a no-code solution for transforming data between different systems. It serves as an intelligent bridge between Elasticsearch and OneDrive. Here's how it works:

Connect and Route

• Elasticsearch as Source: The platform connects to Elasticsearch as a source, enabling extraction of documents, indices, and associated metadata.

• Query-Based Extraction: Supports selective data extraction using Elasticsearch query language, ensuring only relevant data is processed.

• Content Filtering: Applies intelligent filtering to identify valuable content for export to OneDrive.

Transform and Format

• Document Conversion: Transforms Elasticsearch JSON documents into user-friendly formats:

  • PDF Generation for formal reports and documentation

  • Microsoft Office Formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) for editable content

  • HTML and Markdown for web-compatible viewing

  • Plain Text and CSV for simple data access

• Content Structuring: Organizes complex document data into readable, well-formatted layouts.

• Folder Hierarchy: Creates logical folder structures based on Elasticsearch indices, document types, or custom taxonomies.

Enrich and Upload

• Metadata Enrichment: Enhances files with appropriate metadata for improved searchability in OneDrive.

• File Naming Convention: Implements consistent file naming patterns based on document properties.

• Access Control Mapping: Optionally maps Elasticsearch security attributes to OneDrive sharing permissions.

• OneDrive Integration: Processed files are efficiently uploaded to OneDrive with appropriate organization and metadata.

Key Benefits of the Integration

• Search Data Accessibility: Make Elasticsearch data accessible to non-technical users through familiar OneDrive interface.

• Microsoft 365 Integration: Enable seamless use of Elasticsearch data in Microsoft Office applications.

• Collaboration Enhancement: Facilitate team collaboration on search data through OneDrive's sharing capabilities.

• Document Distribution: Simplify distribution of reports and insights derived from search data.

• Mobile Access: Provide access to important search data on mobile devices through OneDrive apps.

• Version Control: Maintain document history and enable version rollback for modified content.

• Scalable Processing: Handle large volumes of documents with high throughput and low latency.

• Enterprise-Grade Security: SOC 2 Type 2 compliance ensures data security throughout the process.
