Vivísimo Adds Content Integrator and Enterprise Publisher to Product Line New Offerings add Powerful Options for Enhanced Document Clustering

Vivisimo's new Content Integrator and Enterprise Publisher join its Clustering Engine, which automatically organizes search or database query results on-the-fly into meaningful hierarchical folders.

PITTSBURGH, August 5, 2002 - Vivísimo, Inc., a global provider of advanced document clustering software, recently added two new products to its software portfolio-the Content Integrator and Enterprise Publisher. These offerings join Vivísimos Flagship product, the Clustering Engine, which automatically organizes search or database query results into meaningful hierarchical folders.

The companys Clustering Engine cleanly interfaces with any search engine or document database to transform long lists of search results into categorized information on-the-fly," without pre-processing the source documents. The new product offerings have been created to meet demand for even greater versatility in categorizing and managing data.

Companies are looking for ways to maximize efficiency and to unlock the valuable experience and knowledge that are buried in their document repositories. Because these document clustering products are fully automated, maintenance free, and easy to integrate, companies save valuable time and dramatically increase productivity," stated Raul Valdes-Perez, Vivísimos President and Co-founder. We strongly believe that these products will set a new standard for the way document collections are organized and presented to end-users."

"People deal with complexity by lumping similar things together - they categorize their world," said Susan Feldman, Research Vice President for Content and Retrieval Technologies at IDC. "As knowledge work becomes ever more complex, and the amount of information even more daunting, categorization is the only way that knowledge workers can handle the load. That is why enterprises are increasingly implementing categorization and taxonomy building technologies. Vivísimo's ability to categorize textual information on-the-fly means that their product can be used to organize documents from any one or many different content sources. This automated approach will help users make sense of unstructured content and should result in savings for the enterprise, both in time and in worker frustration."

The Vivísimo Content Integrator seamlessly combines with the Clustering Engine, enabling companies to integrate search/database query results from multiple sources. Regardless of where the content is stored (internal or external) or the number of disparate sources, the Content Integrator presents a single, unified view of retrieved results clustered into relevant subject categories.
The Vivísimo Enterprise Publisher, a stand-alone document clustering product, represents a powerful new capability for online publishers, customer support departments, research departments and government agencies. This unique product automatically clusters document collections into categories that are intelligently selected from the words and phrases contained within the documents themselves. It publishes the organized content in an intuitive PC folders-style interface that allows end-users to quickly grasp the themes within a document collection and recognize key patterns and trends that would otherwise remain invisible.
