IBM Enterprise Search Software to Enable Discovery and Analysis of Information On Demand

IBM today announced new software that can find information by analyzing text within documents, web pages, problem reports, email, and other unstructured content sources going beyond keyword searches to add additional understanding from the context of information. This new capability can help businesses better manage their growing deluge of information and extract and analyze previously hidden facts and insight to uncover risks, identify new opportunities and drive efficiencies.

Enabling this is IBM WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind Edition, a key part of IBM’s enterprise search platform and the first commercially available software for processing content based on the Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA). UIMA compliant text analytic components can use WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind Edition to clarify the meaning of terms, mine text to find hidden knowledge, and extract useful business information. UIMA provides a standard framework that can be used to add text analytics to any application and enables interoperability among different vendors’ analytics software and enterprise applications.

“Today’s announcement will usher in a shift in how companies can use their unstructured information for greater business intelligence,” said Nelson Mattos, IBM distinguished engineer and vice president strategy, WebSphere Information Integration Solutions. “By delivering higher quality search results enhanced by newly discovered concepts, relationships and facts, we can help enable solutions to find the exact information users are looking for, no matter where it may reside.”
