EasyAsk Chosen as One of '100 Companies That Matter'
EasyAsk Chosen as One of '100 Companies That Matter': "EasyAsk, a trusted provider of search and information retrieval solutions, today announced that it was chosen as one of KMWorld's '100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management' in 2005.
'Over the past year, EasyAsk has executed exceptionally well in both the Enterprise and eCommerce Search markets, gaining mindshare and marketshare in the industry,' said Bob Alperin, president and CEO of EasyAsk. 'This recognition by KMWorld is confirmation of the investments we have made in product and market growth, and testimony to the real value EasyAsk brings to companies who thrive on information. We look forward to another year of helping companies extend their competitive advantage and increase revenue by streamlining the flow of information through superior search and information retrieval technology.'
EasyAsk's Enterprise 9 enables organizations to quickly, easily and comprehensively search for critical business information in structured and unstructured data, regardless of format or location, and be rewarded with only relevant results. EasyAsk Enterprise 9 users can search or browse for relevant information using keywords, phrases, natural language questions, common terms and/or business-specific nomenclature. EasyAsk Enterprise 9 creates a 'smart' dialogue with users, enabling them to find exactly what they are looking for or helping them refine their search when they need assistance. Unlike traditional search, query, reporting and business-intelligence tools, EasyAsk offers automated concept extraction to intelligently match a user's request to relevant data sources and create concepts, relationships or hierarchies that result in superior guided search and navigation experiences. The net result is state-of-the-art information discovery and retrieval that eliminates reliance on metadata and the burdensome task of manually 'tagging' enterprise content.
'The list was conceived as a way to identify some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy,' said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. 'And, it's certainly not intended to be the final word on the matter; rather, it's designed to encourage a broader discussion of knowledge management. Criteria for inclusion varies, but each company has either helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one-and they all share one thing: velocity of innovation.'" ¶ 07:11
