ASHBURN, Va., Nov. 7 - Brainware, Inc., the world's leading provider of intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions, has announced today that its context-based search technology would reach thousands of libraries worldwide through the OEM partnership with SirsiDynix. The global leader in strategic technology solutions for libraries will embed Globalbrain, Brainware's intelligent data retrieval application, into its next-generation search products.
The agreement significantly expands Globalbrain's reach, making it available to more than 20,000 libraries in 70 countries. The technology will provide information seekers with fuzzy search, dynamic categorization and other capabilities that will empower them to discover more content from more sources - including libraries' own catalogs, subscription resources, digital collections, Web content, disparate data sources and social networking data.
"It is exciting to work with SirsiDynix, the established library technology market leader as it converts libraries from simple book repositories into versatile information hubs," said Carl Mergele, Brainware CEO. "To meet our partner's high requirements, we have added library-specific capabilities to our product that combine the latest enterprise search software advancements. The partnership allowed us to bring our technology to the next level, giving information seekers qualitatively new capabilities to navigate through knowledge repositories."
Globalbrain is the world's only search tool that does not rely on exact definitions to find data. Built on associative memory concepts, it provides context-based information retrieval capabilities. The solution does not require complex indexing, taxonomies or dictionaries, and is language- agnostic.
"In Brainware, we found the technology that can do what other enterprise search vendors simply can't," said Gary Rautenstrauch, SirsiDynix CEO. "In conjunction with our library systems, it gives our customers a unique user experience. In addition to keywords, they can use their ideas and concepts as search terms, entering them in natural language. This capability turns a library into a qualitatively different knowledge repository, allowing its visitors to discover facts and ideas that expand their outlook."
