It’s not like pulling teeth
With new relationship analysis tools, industry-specific solution modules and enhanced database scalability, ClearForest Release 5 is said to significantly extend the functionality of the company's unstructured data management applications.
A new Link Analysis feature enables users to find important, previously unknown implicit information within an organization's unstructured data sources, says ClearForest. The Link Analysis query automatically organizes links (associations) between entities (individuals, organizations) that are not present in individual documents. The results of a link analysis query give new insight into an organization's data by interpreting the relevant interconnections between disparate bits of information, claims ClearForest.
Fact Viewer allows for the search and retrieval of events and relationships without the constraint of explicit keywords. A financial analyst could, for example, ask for a list of "all biotech companies that merged or were acquired in the past six months," even though the words "merged," "acquired" or "acquisition" might not appear in the source text.
ClearForest is also delivering four new Discovery Modules with out-of-the-box text patterns and relationships for Life Sciences, Counter-Intelligence, Intellectual Property and Financial Services applications. These modules are designed to provide faster return on investment with rapid implementations using packaged applications, modular deployments and plug-in integrations, says ClearForest.
