How Will You Use Anthracite?

Customers are using Anthracite to solve a wide variety of problems related to text processing, information automation, and database ETL (extract, transform, load).

This is a quick overview of some of the specific types of solutions that customers have built with Anthracite to give you an idea of how you can make use of this powerful toolkit to make your work more productive, too.

In some cases, customers had previously been doing this work by hand, sometimes painstakingly copying and pasting information from webpages into spreadsheets or databases. In other cases, customers didn't have the dedicated developer resources available to solve problems with scripts, so their work simply didn't get done.

Now, you can use Anthracite to solve these types of problems yourself, without requiring a programmer on staff, without wasting time trying to learn a scripting language just to accomplish one or two tasks, and most of all, without having to manually manipulate the data by hand yourself.
