Visual Analytics Inc. and Basis Technology to Deliver Advanced Analytics to International Markets
— Firms Combine Technologies for Converting Unstructured Text from Multiple Languages into Actionable Intelligence using Visual Link Charts —
Poolesville, MD - September 23, 2004 - Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI), a leading provider of visualization and information sharing technologies for enterprises and government agencies has teamed with Basis Technology, a market leader for multilingual computing solutions, to provide the international analytical community with the next-generation solution for converting unstructured text into visual charts.
The strategic partnership was formed to leverage advanced linguistics for entity extraction through powerful visualization and graphical interfaces. When the integration is complete, users will be able to use the Rosette® Entity Extractor (REX) by Basis Technology to process unstructured text, open source documents, and free-form message traffic to expose the names of organizations, locations, dates, people, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and other customized entities. Users will then be able to integrate and display this information within VisuaLinks®, an advanced visual interface created by VAI to show patterns and relationships within data.
Mr. O'Connor, President and CTO of VAI, states “The combination of our technologies will provide the most advanced capabilities to effectively analyze unstructured data. We are seamlessly integrating REX into VisuaLinks to help classify, manage, analyze, and mine textual information. This type of commercial integration is unique to the marketplace because it addresses the entire analytical flow from raw data to final intelligence. We are pleased to have Basis Technology as our newest technology partner.”
John Machonis, Basis Technology VP of Sales and Marketing, said “Our partnership with VAI defines the future of data analytics for commercial and government organizations. By coupling REX with VisuaLinks, these organizations will have new ways to present unstructured data in visual networks to help connect the dots and expose critical hidden relationships.”
