Pricing 2011
December 2, 2010
When you read this article, the deal train may have left the station. Beyond Search is not a news publication, much to the chagrin of the Buffies and Trents who work in the “real news” game. The information in “Big Sale: Get Intellexer Summarizer and Categorizer with 50% Discount” is of interest to us in Harrod’s Creek because it hints at pricing 2011. According to the write up:
Save up to 50% with special sale offer from EffectiveSoft by ordering Summarizer or Categorizer tools in this year…. Intellexer Summarizer and Categorizer are semantic solutions intended for knowledge retrieval and data management. Categorizer will automatically organize a large amount of text files, and Summarizer will spare you reading the entire document and save your time for leisure. EffectiveSoft’s products are based on semantic platform Intellexer SDK (a unique product released by R&D department for knowledge management). In addition to proprietary products development EffectiveSoft company enhances existing customer application with the power of semantic technologies.
EffectiveSoft is located in Minsk, Belarus and was founded in 2000. The company is a Microsoft Certified Gold Partner. More information is available at http://www.effectivesoft.com/.
Translation, summarization, leveling up, and bird’s-eye views are spilling into and across market segments. Customer support, business intelligence, and eDiscovery vendors want to process multiple languages and perform a range of content “value adds”. You can learn more about this particular offer at:

The question we asked ourselves was, “Will a lower price expand the market for these types of content processing systems?”
We know that some of the vendors following the path blazed by i2 Ltd 20 years ago are charging hefty fees for their systems. Other useful products like Inxight’s ThingFinder have dropped completely off our radar. In short, there is feverish activity in advanced content processing.
Maybe even more drastic price cuts are a way to fame and fortune? The problem is that a clever lad or lass can push some interesting software via open source or a giant troll of a company can just give advanced text processing away to get the maintenance and engineering services business.
Worth watching this pricing trend.
