PALO ALTO, Calif., December 12, 2005 — Attensity, the innovator in Text Analytics
software solutions, announced today its selection as one of “Top 50 Technology
Innovators of 2005” by IT Week magazine. The company is profiled in the current issue
of the magazine.
Ken Durham, editor of IT Week, noted that technology is what powers global business,
while innovation is what transforms it and carries it forth. These innovators can be small
innovative startups or big corporations, but what is important is what they bring to the
global stage. “We’re grateful for the recognition from the editors of IT Week,” said Craig Norris, chief executive officer of Attensity. “Our team strives to innovate in the field of Text Analytics and thrives on delivering the most efficient and effective tools to our growing list of Global 2000 corporate clients and government agencies.”
Attensity was chosen for its innovative technology that grasps the nuances, relationships
and context contained in freeform text to quickly extract who did what, when, where and
under what conditions. This previously inaccessible data — found in sources from
survey results to surveillance reports — is turned into a structured, relational data format
and then fused with existing tabular data found in relational databases. For the first time,
organizations can analyze 100% of the data they collect with Attensity’s Analytics and
Discover applications or any existing business intelligence tool in the enterprise.
It Week is published by Possibility Media, a privately held Florida corporation established
as the result of several acquisitions of various web sites and media properties, together
with Virtual Trade Shows and the technology behind the shows. Although based in
Miami, the company has people all over the globe including the U.K., Australia, South
Africa, India, Ukraine, The Netherlands and other Eastern European nations.
