KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany, November 5 /PRNewswire/ --

- Semantic Analysis Software Company Offers Organizations a
Competitive Advantage by Making Information Discovery and Research Easy

Empolis, an Attensity Group Company and the leading provider
of semantic applications for processing unstructured data, today announced
the release of Attensity Discover 4. Attensity Discover 4 is a powerful
research and discovery application that enables business managers,
researchers and knowledge workers to discover hidden insights in corporate
and Internet data including internal documents, emails and other content, as
well as information found in external sources such as news feeds, blogs,
wikis and more. Attensity Discover was chosen from among 800 products to
feature on KMWorld Magazine's "Trend-Setting Product of the Year" list of
this year.

Powered by state-of-the art natural language technology,
semantics and artificial intelligence, Attensity Discover 4 enables users to
better search and retrieve valuable information instantly and share it across
the organization. Attensity Discover 4's web-based, easy-to-implement and
-use portal application transforms a treasure trove of internal and external
information into an enterprise asset and competitive advantage.

More than at any other time in history, today's corporate
information systems are flooded with information that employees and
executives either can't access or don't even know they have. This information
can pose a risk to the company, or help a researcher or product developer
understand product issues or identify innovative ideas. However, it is almost
impossible to access because it is stored in disparate systems or scattered
across the web and generally in an unstructured format.

About Attensity Discover 4

Attensity Discover 4 gives information managers the ability to
learn more about markets, products and competitors. It allows them to
continuously and systematically evaluate their own internal as well as
external information sources such as websites, blogs, news groups, etc. The
new version of Attensity Discover enables users to access this vast amount of
valuable information by automatically extracting key information in an
efficient and focused way through an intuitive web interface, easy-to-use
query and analytics tools, and a massively scalable architecture. With
Attensity Discover 4, a company's risk is reduced and research optimized.
Ultimately, an organization is able to significantly increase employee
productivity, invent better products, and deliver better service to their
customers.

New capabilities of Attensity Discover 4 include:

    - A high-performance search provides users with a comprehensive range of 
      search options, filters and ranking. Prebuilt, domain-specific search 
      features make navigation easy and efficient.
      Auto-completion functions leverage domain knowledge to help users 
      formulate queries quickly and efficiently. In addition, linguistic 
      support in 32 languages is provided.
    - Information discovery features include effective filtering
      through a tag cloud, the ability to relate people, places and things 
      found in disparate data sources, and the ability to drill down through 
      ontologies that map the information sources.
    - A flexible portal-based user interface is designed to enable
      users to define what their research screens flow looks like based on 
      their specific research needs, preferences and requirements. Attensity 
      Discover 4 comes with a broad selection of standard portlets which can 
      be used to integrate external information flexibly into the portal 
      (e.g. access to image databases, content from news websites or third-
      party systems).
    - A highly flexible processing logic based on an open Java
      architecture leverages "pipelets" that are configured via a graphical 
      user interface, and form user process flows that enable integration of 
      any application logic, data source and user desired view.



Greater Insights from Social Media through Attensity Cloud

Combining Attensity Discover with the add-on module Attensity
Cloud expands research and analysis capabilities to the vast sources of
information found online. Attensity Discover users can expand their research
base to the massive insights hidden online by analyzing conversations in
social media outlets such as web forums, blogs, wikis, micro-blogs including
Twitter and Facebook(R), LinkedIn(R), Xing, customer portals such as
Epinions.com(TM), news feeds, and many others.

To demonstrate this, Empolis in cooperation with the
University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern analyzed more than 108,000
entries in the German language social web with Attensity Discover and
Attensity Cloud about the launch of Windows 7. The result showed that the new
operating system was favorably received throughout German social media.

"The new Attensity Discover is a great leap forward in
applications designed to enable business users and researchers to uncover the
proverbial 'needle in a haystack.' It enables users to harness massive
amounts of information easily to find insights that optimize the research
process," said Dr. Stefan Wess, general manager of Empolis. "Through our
natural language technologies and our applications that are designed to
uniquely listen, analyze and relate unstructured and structured data, we are
able to provide capabilities that give organizations a distinct competitive
advantage."
