Recommind, the leader in search-powered Information Risk Management (IRM) software, today announced it has been positioned in the ‘Leaders’ quadrant of Gartner Inc.'s 2009 ‘Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology’ report.
The report "assesses vendors with capabilities that go beyond enterprise search to encompass a range of technologies. Their capabilities include search; federated search; content analytics, such as content classification, categorization and clustering; fact and entity extraction; taxonomy creation and management; information presentation (for example, visualization) to support analysis and understanding; and desktop search to address user-controlled repositories in order to locate and ‘invoke’ documents, data and e-mail."
According to Gartner, vendors listed in the Leaders quadrant "demonstrate significant architectural flexibility. They also have a strong, innovative and broad means of determining relevancy of results returned to users and providing developers with the tools and flexibility to tune these relevancy settings. They have the finances to weather hard times and sufficient resources to invest in both organic and inorganic technology and business growth."
Powered by the unique CORE™ (Context Optimized Relevancy Engine) platform, Recommind's enterprise search, e-mail management, records management and eDiscovery solutions enable Fortune 500 enterprises and professional service firms to quickly and easily organize, access and analyze data across the organization to maximize the value of enterprise information and expertise while efficiently mitigating the risks associated with litigation and investigations.
“Businesses around the world are drowning in information, and they’re beginning to recognize the need for more powerful and proactive information management solutions,” said Robert Tennant, CEO, Recommind. “With the CORE platform, Recommind offers something far more effective than a one-size-fits-all approach to information access and management — search based on meaning and context, not keywords. CORE provides a knowledge management infrastructure that automatically discovers connections between documents and topics, automated expertise location that finds people in the organization with specific experience and expertise, and a secure, topic- or project-specific perspective on all enterprise data. These same revolutionary concept search-driven capabilities are built into our products for electronic discovery, records management and regulatory compliance. We believe our position in the Leaders quadrant reflects our ability to deliver the industry’s most flexible and sophisticated technology for information access.”
Recommind’s flagship information access product, MindServer™ Search, is a comprehensive software suite that integrates enterprise data across myriad applications and information repositories. Powered by the patented CORE platform, MindServer Search dramatically improves access to a wide variety of information across large, distributed organizations and returns search results securely and in context for more accurate understanding and ‘actionability' of the information.
In August Recommind expanded its product line with MindServer™ Categorization, a unique approach to proactive information management. MindServer Categorization automatically categorizes and tags legacy data and new data as it is created, making information easier to identify, use, manage and delete, and helping large enterprises reduce storage, data center, records management and eDiscovery costs.
Recommind’s Fortune 500 customers include Verizon, Marathon Oil and Novartis, as well as many of the world’s leading professional service firms.
