Rutgers and Connotate
December 23, 2010
Are you interested in learning about technology commercialization and Rutgers University? You’re in luck, Rutgers University’s Office of Technology Commercialization has released its annual report. Along with department highlights and the faculty profile, you’ll read about eight new companies that started a Rutgers University, among them is Connotate Inc.
“Connotate is a leading provider of solutions that help companies collect data and content from the Web. Leveraging patented technology developed at Rutgers University, Connotate provides clients with customized real-time Web information extraction capabilities that help organizations cost effectively collect, analyze and distribute high-volumes of unstructured Web data.”
The link to Rutgers was new to us, but that doesn’t stop us from being impressed by the company’s profile. It was named by EContent Magazine as one of the “Top 100 Companies that Matter Most to the Digital Content Industry.” In June 2010, Connotate raised $5.25 million to expand their marketing and sales to meet an increasing demand for real-time data key vertical markets. The company is once more on KMWorld’s Exclusive List of “100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management,” making it the sixth year it has been on the list. I wonder what Connotate will accomplish in 2011.
We were not up to speed on the link between Connotate and Rutgers. The explicit link for the PDF is http://otc.rutgers.edu/downloads/OTC_annual_2010%20FINAL.pdf. It was working on December 10, 2010.
