Perceptive Software, Brainware Inc. Team-Up
July 5, 2011
Perceptive Software has partnered the Brainware, Inc. to embed its flagship product, Brainware Distiller into Perceptive’s image capture and intelligent OCR products like ImageNow . Brainware Distiller increases the speed and accuracy at which companies can access and process information in paper and electronic documents. As described in Image and Data Manager article “ECM Market gets Perceptive”:
The Perceptive ECM platform is designed to manage content in context, not just handle ingest and routing’ said Giagnacovo (the GM for Perceptive Software International). ImageNow incorporates the Brainware Distiller engine for OCR and data capture.
This is a smart marriage between technologies. By combining Brainware’s intelligent data capture and enterprise search solutions with the Perceptive’s enterprise content management (ECM) platform, the real winner becomes customer. They will not only benefit from top-class business intelligence, but their operational efficiency should greatly increase as well. It sure seems like a winner to us.
What’s interesting is that Brainware’s sales are not coming from its search technology. The firm is finding traction in the somewhat less glamorous but still important back office of organizations. Brainware is moving away from search just as MarkLogic is moving into enterprise search. Which firm is making the “right” choice? Maybe both? Maybe neither? Search seems to be more and more a problemantic enterprise function. Just our view from Harrod’s Creek, Kentucky.
