Recognized for its Fingerprinting Technology, Collexis Empowers Users in the Life Sciences, Government and Legal Communities to Immediately Identify and Search for Documents, Experts, Trend and New Discoveries

Collexis Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXS), a leading developer of high definition search and knowledge discovery software, announced today it has been recognized in the March 2008 issue of KMWorld as one of the 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management.

Now in its eighth year, KMWorld’s list of 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management is compiled by KMWorld practitioners, theorists, analysts and vendors, as well as the publication’s customers and colleagues, and recognizes innovative knowledge management companies that will not only make a difference in the year ahead, but have also played a key role in creating, enhancing or defining a market.

“It is truly an honor to be recognized alongside some of the world’s most innovative companies that are helping change the way companies and individuals manage knowledge content and connect with one another,” said Bill Kirkland, CEO of Collexis Holdings, Inc. “At Collexis, we are committed to developing customized, client-specific knowledge management and discovery software solutions that provide intelligent design and ease of use for our clients’ information retrieval, knowledge retrieval and knowledge discovery needs.”

Joining an impressive list of companies, including Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft, Collexis was recognized by KMWorld for its unique ability to create and enhance customer-specific knowledge discovery applications.

“We have long held that the true essence of knowledge management is an attitude, a single-minded commitment to improvement,” said Hugh McKellar, editor in chief of KMWorld. “And companies on our list simply emphasize an abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers. They must also show agile innovation combined with a full understanding of the force that affect, and will affect their customers.”

Collexis develops applications that range from search tools for users’ websites to highly sophisticated discovery applications that are utilized by the intelligence community and R&D organizations worldwide. These applications allow users to identify and search for documents, experts, trends or new discoveries that may be hidden in the materials. Collexis software creates profiles of text – web pages, documents, e-mails, speech transcripts, grants, etc. These profiles represent the key ideas or concepts in those texts and are presented in a format known as the Collexis Fingerprint. Once Collexis has profiled a set of text, the Fingerprints (or document profiles) are used to create the applications.

Matching of concepts eliminates the ambiguity and lack of priority associated with word searches. The results are often described as “finding needles in many haystacks.” Through this novel approach, Collexis can build unique applications using Fingerprints to search, index and aggregate information as well as prioritize, trend and predict data without the limitations of language or dialect.
