How It Works

The engine of Kapow Katalyst is the patented Kapow Extraction Browser, the first and only web browser purpose-built for secure, automated data extraction, integration and delivery on a massive scale. It uniquely combines the functionality of a presentation browser (enabling you to browse the web as you normally do) and the power of an extraction browser that automatically and precisely extracts data from virtually any source on the web, in the cloud or across the enterprise faster, cheaper and more accurately than any other method.

How Kapow Katalyst Works

The Kapow Extraction Browser gets its instructions from programmatic robots — powerful scripted agents that automatically collect data and/or repeat data entry and business processing in real time. These robots are created using the Design Studio application.

The robots are deployed on the RoboServer application, which is a highly scalable execution engine that operates the extraction browser based on robot-automated instructions and rules to extract, transform, integrate and migrate the data you want.

Finally, there is the Management Console application, which is a web-based collaboration platform for governing, monitoring and managing the Kapow Katalyst RoboServer environment and data delivery mechanisms.
