WAND's Banking, Finance, and Investment Taxonomy is designed to help financial companies organize information and improve the quality of enterprise search results. The taxonomy experts at WAND have made this financial taxonomy available now for integration into any enterprise search software.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) March 3, 2009 -- WAND, Inc (http://www.wandinc.com), the leading provider of pre-built taxonomies and taxonomies for enterprise search, has announced the release of its Banking, Finance, and Investment Industry Taxonomy. This taxonomy is now available for licensing and integration into any enterprise search or content application.

Research shows that knowledge workers are wasting from 10-20% of their time looking for information that cannot be found. This is incredibly costly for any company. Adding a taxonomy to an enterprise search environment helps to guide search and navigation so the expense of wasted employee time is reduced. The WAND Banking, Finance, and Investment Taxonomy allows financial companies to organize information so enterprise search is more effective, employees are more efficient, and information can be found.

The Banking, Finance and Investment taxonomy includes 1,526 terms and 1,006 synonyms organized into a hierarchical structure with topics including markets and exchanges, asset and investments, financial intermediaries, currency lists, investment benchmarks, financial crimes and frauds, and more. The taxonomy was created by finance experts who researched dozens of financial websites and resources to capture terminology important to the industry.

"The demand for pre-built taxonomies in enterprise search (http://www.wandinc.com/main/sol_enterprise.aspx) is exploding, and banking, finance, and investment is one of the key vertical segments driving that demand," according to Mark Leher, WAND's Vice President of Business Development. He added that "this taxonomy was designed specifically for banking, finance, and investment professionals and we expect this taxonomy will be particularly valuable for helping those professionals find critical information for their business."

The Banking, Finance, and Investment Taxonomy is just the latest addition to the WAND Taxonomy Library (http://www.wandinc.com/main/prod_tax.aspx) which already includes 37 taxonomies covering nearly every industry.

WAND taxonomies can be integrated into Vivisimo, SharepartXXL, Concept Searching, SmartLogic, Mondeca, Dow Jones Synaptica, Webchoir, Forest Rim, Endeca, and most other enterprise search applications or any software that can import taxonomies.
