Empolis Research & Discovery is KMWorld's Trend Setting Product of 2009


KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany, August 24 /PRNewswire/ --

- Multiple Honours Received This Year for Our Product Innovations

Empolis GmbH, an Attensity Group company, today announced that
its Research & Discovery application has been awarded "Trend-Setting Product
of the Year" by KMWorld Magazine. The web-based, portal application was
chosen from among 800 products for this year's list by KMWorld's judging
panel, which consists of editors, analysts, system integrators, other
vendors, line-of-business managers and users.

Editor-in-Chief Hugh McKellar explains: "The products selected
all demonstrate clearly identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve the
vendor's full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers.
Empolis' application provides a rich environment for researchers to not only
to find valuable, relevant information, but to understand its context and
discover new relationships".

Empolis' Research & Discovery application is a web-based
portal that empowers analysts and researchers to access critical business
information from silos inside the company and from sources outside the
company efficiently and easily. Driven by sophisticated natural-language
processing technology, the Research & Discovery application enables users to
better search, retrieve and collaborate on valuable information. It
transforms information into an enterprise asset that lowers discovery and
research costs, while decreasing enterprise risk.

In addition to the award for Research & Discovery, the
Attensity Group's Voice of the Customer (VoC) application also was selected
by KMWorld to feature on this year's list. The application was chosen for its
ability to extract valuable information from freeform text found in emails,
web forums, surveys, CRM notes, and other customer conversations, and to
transform it into structured, actionable First Person Intelligence(TM).
Attensity VoC enables organizations to view all of their data, from both
structured and unstructured sources, affording them more comprehensive
information for real-time analysis and decision-making.

"We are very pleased that two Attensity Group products were
chosen by KMWorld to feature on their influential list of Trend-Setters. Our
success is directly linked to focusing on building products that enable our
customers to gain business value and helping them meet their information
management needs by means of innovative semantic technologies" says Empolis'
CEO Dr Stefan Wess.

Empolis is the EMEA go-to-market entity of the Attensity Group
and both Empolis and Attensity are among the "100 Companies That Matter in
Knowledge Management in 2009". This result confirms that the Attensity Group
is on the right track to becoming a worldwide market leader in the field of
semantic technologies that will help shape the new market for semantic
processing of unstructured information.

KMWorld's Trend Setting Product List of 2009 will be published
in the September issue and will be available online thereafter
