Nstein Expands Capabilities
September 2, 2011
“What’s Next For OpenText As It Continues Integration of Nstein’s Technologies?” gives a sneak preview into new features from the company formerly known for semantic technology, now teamed up with OpenText. In the year since the acquisition, Nstein has already begun adapting its knack for accurate searches from masses of Internet pages to local Intranets and emails as part of WCM. But there will be more to come. We learned:
Some highlights moving forward are taking entity extraction and normalization to the space of collecting, analyzing, and finding business trends that emerge across enterprise’s vast collections of documents, sources and repositories — and also going beyond extracting and categorizing named entities and sentiment from text documents to apply semantics to other media, such as photos, videos and other unstructured information.
Working past challenges including wading thru typical enterprise content, namely huge MS Office files, is only a small hiccup. The company’s are developing banks of industry-specific terms to combat that issue.
Other features we can expect in the future include a “listening” platform application and automation of of certain business functions. We will have to wait and see if the Nstein/OpenText entity can meet or exceed the high aspirations, and it seems they’ve barely started. Based on progress to date, will OpenText will be giving its competitors a run for their money? OpenText has a large number of search and content processing technologies, brands, and systems. We learned that RedDot uses the Autonomy search system. Will integration of the firm’s content processing technologies be a priority in 2012? With the acquisition of Autonomy by Hewlett Packard, providing services for Autonomy installations may become an issue to watch in 2012.
