Share:
BUSINESS OBJECTS INSIGHT 2006, SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6 -- Inxight® Software, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise software solutions for information discovery, today announced a new Technology Partnership with Business Objects (Nasdaq: BOBJ; Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0004026250 - BOB) to provide federated search and text analytics for the BusinessObjects(TM) XI platform. In addition, Inxight will participate in the new Business Objects Open Search Initiative, a partner network of leading text analytics, enterprise search, and consulting companies.
The combination of Inxight SmartDiscovery(TM) and BusinessObjects XI Release 2 brings together the universes of structured and unstructured data into a common data warehouse. This allows BusinessObjects XI users to incorporate unstructured data sources -- such as customer support emails, call reports, online chat, news articles, and blog content -- in their analytics. Used together, the Inxight and Business Objects solution enables customers to quickly search and find the reports and metrics they need, with secure access to all BI content and data. Contextual navigation filters and document summary previews help users quickly pinpoint relevant results.
Inxight allows users to leverage the power of unstructured text in more than 30 languages to augment the BusinessObjects XI platform in financial services, legal discovery, government, healthcare and other mission-critical operations. Inxight's extensible text analytics platform is based on a deep understanding of all major languages. A unique combination of federated search, visualization and entity extraction allows users to leverage information from a variety of sources and combine that information with structured data. Automatically detecting people, companies, places, relations and events, and custom information, users can find information more quickly, explore relationships and trends, and "connect the dots" more easily -- uncovering new revenue opportunities, enhancing customer service, and gaining competitive and market advantage.
"As a leader in text analytics, Inxight is delighted to be working with Business Objects, the leader in business intelligence, to unite the worlds of enterprise search, text analytics and business intelligence," said Ian Hersey, senior vice president for corporate development and strategy, Inxight Software. "This is great news for our joint customers, who will now be able to derive actionable intelligence from all of their data -- structured and unstructured -- optimizing market intelligence activities, improving customer satisfaction, and uncovering new revenue streams."
"Business Objects views search and text analytics as a natural extension for traditional business intelligence solutions," said Wyatt Mullin, vice president of global ISV channels at Business Objects. "With our Open Search Initiative, we are partnering with leading search and text analytic vendors to help customers gain easier access to answers contained within unstructured data sources. The combination of federated search capabilities from Inxight and our industry leading BI technology provide a powerful solution for helping companies create a more information centric organization."
