Nalanda Technology is promoting its patented search and discovery platform, Nalytics, as a tool designed to help organizations quickly locate precise information across large volumes of structured and unstructured data—addressing what the company describes as the growing challenge of finding “a needle in a digital haystack.”
The company says its technology is built to support organizations of varying sizes and operates across multiple sectors, including local government, healthcare, legal services, corporate functions, compliance, risk management, and the third sector. Nalanda Technology is part of the OLM Group of Companies, which it says has a 30-year track record of introducing technology solutions for public-sector and service-driven environments, including health, social care, and local government.
At the core of Nalanda’s offering is the Nalytics Platform, which the company describes as a suite of business solutions focused on search, analysis, and automated document handling. The platform is positioned as a practical alternative to broad internet-style search tools by narrowing results and improving relevance for internal business data sets.
Search and analysis built around “digital DNA”
Nalanda says the main capability within the platform is a search, discovery, and analysis engine that specializes in extracting structure from unstructured content. The company’s approach breaks documents into constituent elements such as words, sentences, paragraphs, and sections, enabling deeper discovery and more refined search outputs.
The platform’s indexing method is designed to let users control the scope of search results. For example, users can configure searches to return results only when terms appear within the same sentence—supporting high relevance—or broaden searches to capture documents containing any specified terms, returning a larger set of results for review.
A key feature highlighted by Nalanda is multilingual search functionality, enabling searches across documents written in different languages using a query entered in either language. The company says this can be particularly useful for global organizations managing multilingual repositories of contracts and records.
eDiscovery, SARs, and legacy data preservation
Nalanda’s platform includes several modules designed to address specific regulatory and operational needs.
Nalytics eDiscovery is positioned as the core search and discovery engine for analyzing large document sets. It is designed to help legal, compliance, and corporate teams find relevant information efficiently and extract insights from complex text-based records.
Nalytics SARS (Subject Access Requests) targets organizations responding to data access requests under GDPR. The company notes that SARs must be completed within 30 days and can carry significant penalties if not fulfilled. Nalanda says the platform can speed up SAR responses by removing duplicates, converting files to PDF format, and automatically redacting sensitive or confidential information such as third-party names that may be missed through manual review.
Nalytics Preserve is designed for organizations retiring old software systems but needing long-term access to legacy data. Nalanda says this includes both structured records and unstructured content such as emails, attachments, documents, and metadata. The company notes that in many cases, organizations may need to retain this information for up to 70 years. Preserve is intended to index large volumes of historical data and provide ongoing access through Nalytics search tools, while working alongside existing content management systems.
Document comparison for commercial property compliance
Nalanda also offers Nalytics Land Registry Compare (LRC), aimed at notaries and legal professionals working in commercial property transactions. The company says notaries often need to compare Land Registry extracts against mortgage documentation to ensure compliance and meet money laundering requirements—work that can involve reviewing hundreds of documents manually.
Nalanda says its LRC system automates this process by comparing documents against Land Registry records and producing reports identifying anomalies or mismatches, reducing time and lowering the risk of human error.
Search and redact tools for privacy and compliance
The company also promotes Nalytics Search & Redact, a cloud-based solution designed to redact personally identifiable information and other sensitive content. Nalanda says this tool supports redaction across Word and Excel files, emails, attachments, PDFs, text files, and even images and scanned documents. The platform includes tagging and annotation functions to support follow-up and review workflows.
Leadership commentary
Chris Rose, Managing Director of Nalanda Technology, said the company is addressing a growing global challenge of data sprawl and inefficiency in information retrieval.
“We live in a world where the volume of data is growing exponentially. Typically, identical data is stored across numerous personal or company devices, can be in the cloud or on a server on the other side of the world. Finding the precise information right when you need it can be time consuming and frustrating,” Rose said. “Many people assume that search engines such as Google are the answer. However, even with the recent AI advances, such searches are still rudimentary and present too many results for the user to decipher. What Nalytics brings to the party is a unique precision search tool which can find the most relevant data.”
He added that the platform is designed to be intuitive and quick to deploy.
“The Nalytics platform has been designed to be easy and intuitive to use with the minimum of training. As Nalytics is Software as a Service, it can be deployed safely and quickly. We take structured and unstructured data and turn it into data sets which can be easily searched and analysed whether it is a few hundred documents or several Terabytes of information.”
