    The public website for Wysk was built using ColdFusion, Solr and Microsoft SQL Server. ColdFusion integrates with Solr full text search engine out of the box, but for the massive needs of Wysk, we wrote our own wrapper so that we could utilize the latest version of Solr and features that weren’t exposed through the built-in Solr service. Users could search for any business in the US by name, address and officer name. Once the appropriate business was located, they could order and view reports for that business that included: Secretary of State data, Franchise Tax information, Sales Tax information, Trademarks, Patents, Real Estate owned and Litigation information.

Best position confidence
Moderate confidence
