Partnering for unified access and discovery

Content intelligence solutions provider Smartlogic and semantic data integration company TopQuadrant have joined forces to integrate both parties’ capabilities for linking structured and unstructured data. The companies report the alliance calls for technology exchange, joint product development and sales collaboration to provide a semantically enabled solution that unifies diverse information across the enterprise.

TopQuadrant’s software is designed to integrate structured data while Smartlogic’s solutions describe, extract and analyze information locked up in unstructured data. They say the combined solution lets customers treat their information as a whole so they can use their information assets in a unified, consistent manner to gain significant economic advantage.

TopQuadrant’s TopBraid Insight is said to enable a virtual data warehouse in a fraction of the time it takes to build a traditional data mart, and the TopBraid platform powers data governance and information exchange. Smartlogic’s Semaphore makes all the human intelligence locked up in content available for use. By combining these systems, the companies say, the partnership offers a unified information platform without the need to rip and replace any existing data or content systems. Enterprises can now consistently connect all of their information, resulting in enhanced discovery, better reporting (and compliance), new insights and ultimately faster and smarter action.
