Nervana Named To The 2006 EContent 100; One Of “The Most Important Companies In The Digital Content Industry”

BELLEVUE, WA – November 17, 2006 – Nervana, a leading knowledge discovery company, today announced that it has been selected to the 2006 EContent 100. The award, presented by EContent Magazine, recognizes outstanding companies in the digital content industry. Developed annually, the EContent 100 provides a look at the most important public and private companies that demonstrate winning strategies and solutions that define the digital content industry. Judges include EContent's staff, contributing editors and frequent contributors, as well as editors from other publications.

“Nervana embodies the spirit of these awards by being a company dedicated to innovation and creativity in the digital content medium,” said Michelle Manafy, Editor at EContent Magazine. “Like all of the companies include in this year's list, Nervana is pushing the envelope in the space."

The Nervana Discovery Solution is designed to reduce the overall time and cost associated with finding relevant information spread across vast, disparate data repositories, intranets and the Internet. It is also the first and only knowledge discovery solution to combine true intent-based semantic search and ranking with intelligent document matching (“drag-and-drop”) technology, thereby eliminating the need for complex query building. More than a simple key word search engine, the solution is able to interpret what the knowledge worker needs to find – even if he/she doesn’t know how to ask the correct question

“Information is a key enabler for all businesses, and companies that can manage and utilize that information effectively can see massive returns in critical business processes such as compliance, due diligence, and research,” commented Nosa Omoigui, founder and CEO of Nervana. “We’ve worked hard to develop intelligent discovery solutions that have the ability to understand, search and retrieve information, so being recognized by EContent Magazine as one of the companies that matter in the digital industry is great validation for our team.”

The EContent 100 is the latest award Nervana has attained in 2006. In August, the company was named by KM World as a “Trend-Setting Product for 2006” – this just one year after the technology was released to market. In April, Discovery won “Best in Show” at Bio-IT World and, most recently, Omoigui was named to the PharmaVOICE 100 list in recognition of his development of innovative technology contributions to the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries.
