SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Gartner ITxpo -- April 29, 2002 -- Inxight® Software, Inc., the leading provider of software applications for understanding and effectively using unstructured data on the Internet and enterprise networks, today announced Inxight Categorizer 3.0. The new version provides publishers and information aggregators with a superior method for classifying unstructured information into taxonomies, enabling them to deliver relevant and timely information to their customers while significantly reducing manual labor costs. The product is also ideal for enterprise and government organizations needing a robust solution for classifying documents for fast, accurate delivery to the appropriate user, such as automated email response or internal routing. Unique to Inxight Categorizer are patented natural language processing and machine learning techniques that offer the highest possible level of accuracy in 12 languages.

Inxight Categorizer 3.0 features a new Service Manager - a Web application for managing multiple taxonomy models from any location; the seamless integration of Categorizer Executive - an application that provides a graphical user interface for creating and maintaining training sets; and significant performance enhancements in accuracy and precision.

"Inxight's Categorizer has been built with performance, accuracy and operational concerns in mind - and hence it offers content providers the kind of professional tool that they need to develop and strengthen their products over time," said Jo Rabin, former CTO Reuters Mobile and recognized knowledge management expert. "Today, the ability to automatically code and classify information for easy retrieval, delivery and analysis is crucial to content providers and other companies that handle vast amounts of information. Inxight's dedication to both the short and long-term needs of these organizations marks them out as the vendor in the right place at the right time."

The ability to deliver relevant and accurate information to users worldwide daily is imperative for publishers and information aggregators," said Ramana Rao, Inxights chief technology officer. Likewise, government and enterprise organizations must be able to quickly analyze and accurately route vast amounts of unstructured information to facilitate critical business decisions. Inxight Categorizer 3.0 offers the highest level of accuracy -- proven to be as high as 80% - and is the most scaleable solution on the market, managing thousands of categories and millions of documents in multiple languages. Inxight Categorizer significantly increases productivity by automating time-consuming manual processes, and enables business expansion by handling greater volumes of textual information than is otherwise possible."
