STAR is the core technology that underlies all of Cuadra's knowledge management solutions.

Unlike many software packages, STAR was designed to serve multiple information management needs in libraries, information centers, archives, museums, records centers, law firms, competitive intelligence units, and publishing organizations. Such organizations differ in the processes and language that they use but they share a common need for efficient and accurate input of both structured and unstructured data, automatic indexing, sophisticated retrieval, flexible output, and data security. STAR provides for:

• automatic, immediate indexing
• management of electronic files, including full text
• robust data validation
• comprehensive global change
• powerful report generation
• sophisticated retrieval, including execution of pre-defined searches
• easy searching by both expert and infrequent users
