- Multiple Honours Received This Year for Our Product Innovations

Empolis GmbH, an Attensity Group company, today announced that its Research & Discovery application has been awarded “Trend-Setting Product of the Year” by KMWorld Magazine. The web-based, portal application was chosen from among 800 products for this year’s list by KMWorld’s judging panel, which consists of editors, analysts, system integrators, other vendors, line-of-business managers and users.

Editor-in-Chief Hugh McKellar explains: “The products selected all demonstrate clearly identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve the vendor’s full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers. Empolis’ application provides a rich environment for researchers to not only to find valuable, relevant information, but to understand its context and discover new relationships”.

Empolis’ Research & Discovery application is a web-based portal that empowers analysts and researchers to access critical business information from silos inside the company and from sources outside the company efficiently and easily. Driven by sophisticated natural-language processing technology, the Research & Discovery application enables users to better search, retrieve and collaborate on valuable information. It transforms information into an enterprise asset that lowers discovery and research costs, while decreasing enterprise risk.

In addition to the award for Research & Discovery, the Attensity Group’s Voice of the Customer (VoC) application also was selected by KMWorld to feature on this year’s list. The application was chosen for its ability to extract valuable information from freeform text found in emails, web forums, surveys, CRM notes, and other customer conversations, and to transform it into structured, actionable First Person Intelligence(TM). Attensity VoC enables organizations to view all of their data, from both structured and unstructured sources, affording them more comprehensive information for real-time analysis and decision-making.

“We are very pleased that two Attensity Group products were chosen by KMWorld to feature on their influential list of Trend-Setters. Our success is directly linked to focusing on building products that enable our customers to gain business value and helping them meet their information management needs by means of innovative semantic technologies” says Empolis’ CEO Dr Stefan Wess.
