Exalead Taps Basis Technologies for Translations

April 26, 2011

“Exalead and Basis Technology Partnership Extends Capabilities of Exalead Information Access Platform to Asian and Middle Eastern Languages” describes the recent pairing of the search firms, owners of CloudView EL and Rosette, respectively.

Back in March 2011, Basis Technology released a fresh version of its Rosette Linguistics Platform with an expanded language library, encompassing some of the more complex Asian vernaculars. This caught Exalead’s eye. Exalead said:

We partnered with Basis Technology to extend our commitment to search excellence into Asia and the Middle East. Rosette’s speed and textual analysis in a multitude of languages is a key piece in enabling our worldwide customers to unlock the hidden value of data across all sources and languages.

This has all the makings of a match made in heaven. Consider Basis Technology’s move earlier this year to become a search and business intelligence (BI) vendor. Exalead has also been courting the BI market. Coincidence? We think not. It will be interesting to see what develops once the honeymoon is over. Will one plus one equal three? Exalead is on a fast-rising sales trajectory and more languages support increases the Dassault subsidiary’s in Asia, for example.
