ENTERPRISE QUESTION ANSWERING SOFTWARE

They are developing software to enable Question-Answering for Enterprise and Business Intelligence (BI) applications, using sophisticated Natural Language Processing / Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence techniques. According to Gartner, Natural Language Question Answering systems – currently exemplified by non-enterprise products such as Google, Siri, and IBM Watson – could soon be destined for the Enterprise domain as well. Gartner predicted that 70 percent of leading BI ... vendors would have incorporated natural-language capabilities by 2016, likely using technologies developed externally rather than by the BI vendors themselves. While this of course presents an enormous potential for disruption in the $13-billion BI market, there has yet to be a pervasive product offering in this regard. This is likely due to the significant technical challenges of applying traditional Q&A and search technologies to the unique technical environments of Enterprise. Their company focuses on addressing these challenges, and developing the underlying technologies that would enable the Enterprise Question-Answering applications of the future.More
