Nervana Previews Latest Version of its Advanced Discovery Technology Solution
Personalized Knowledge Discovery That Will Significantly Impact R&D Efficiency
BOSTON — April 3, 2006 – Nervana, a leading knowledge discovery technology company, announced today the release of the Nervana Discovery Solution beta version 3.0 at the Life Sciences Conference and Expo held this week in Boston. For the second year in a row the product is a Best of Show Awards finalist, selected by the editors of Bio-IT World. Winners will be announced on April 4 at the conference.
The Nervana Discovery Solution provides knowledge workers with the ability to ask questions “naturally” within the context of the meaning — in ways they never could before — crossing multiple domains and information repositories. The Nervana engine correlates all the possible combinations of meaning for the request and returns the most relevant, timely results from the system. Knowledge workers are immediately empowered with insight and information from unexpected connections they’ve never experienced before with existing search technologies.
“This newest version of our flagship product further empowers knowledge workers who are tasked with making key business decisions from hundreds, if not thousands, of disparate information sources,” said Nosa Omoigui, Chairman and CEO of Nervana, Inc. “We are making significant advancements in how people interact with data, by turning data into knowledge, more quickly and with greater ease of use,” said Omoigui.
New Personalized Features
The Nervana Discovery Solution 3.0 will offer a more personalized experience, allowing users to express their intended meaning, choose type of information, browse results by personal relevance and timeliness, as well as collaborate on knowledge discovery with others. Several of the dominant new features in the product include:
- Drag and Drop
This advanced functionality is the most natural way to search and discover today, yet it makes knowledge discovery a relatively simple task. Users can take a document or entity such as email, PDF, URL or webpage to create a query. The system then analyzes the sample and then delivers semantically relevant materials (research papers, patents, news releases, stories etc.). The technology transforms a document into a very complex graph of contextual chains, allowing the knowledge worker to discover information based on an existing documented thought process. The user doesn’t have to manually type a query. The program does the work for them.
- Live Mode
Live Mode can be engaged to monitor results as they are delivered. Live Mode allows query results to stream real-time across the user’s desktop providing up-to-the-minute delivery of insight, and information needed for timely industry intelligence.
- Collaboration
Users can easily share relevant and timely insight and information with co-workers through built-in email functionality, furthering knowledge worker efficiency and empowerment.
Flexible Packages and Pricing
The Nervana Discovery Solution is available at flexible price points that are appropriate for a range of business needs and budgets. The solution can be delivered to the small research department as a subscription-based offering while still providing the benefits of the technology that powers the Nervana Discovery Solution without the additional investment in IT infrastructure. The product also scales to global enterprises-wide installations that involve onsite customization services including proprietary data and ontology integration.
A variety of product packages are available to meet the customer’s business and research needs. Packages include unique content bundles ranging from patent information used to mitigate the financial risk and increase long-term protection with efficient upfront discovery of relevant patent knowledge to leading Life Sciences content, news, scientific literature and ontologies needed for efficiency in research, development, and business intelligence. Detailed pricing will be announced with the public release of version 3.0 of the Nervana Discovery Solution.
