SageMaker Licenses Autonomy Technology to Automate Categorization of Content for Its Vertical Enterprise Information Portals
New partnership provides a unique solution for enterprise portal customers
Fairfield, Conn. - (Business Wire) - Aug. 10, 1999 - SageMaker, Inc., the leading provider of Enterprise Information Portals (EIP), today announced that it will license Autonomy's core technology to complement its SageWave enterprise portal solution, providing customers with a comprehensive solution for handling vast amounts of unstructured data.
SageMaker will use Autonomy's core technology within the SageWave EIP to automate the discovery, categorization, tagging, hypertext linking and personalization of unstructured content for its customers in the oil & gas, power & utilities, chemicals, telecommunications, financial, pharmaceuticals, and insurance industries.
By allowing users to more easily manage internal (documents, emails, Intranet) and external Website information, companies will immediately recognize a higher level of productivity.
SageMaker Inc., President and CEO, Ron Bienvenu, explained why his company decided to license Autonomy's technology. "Complementing SageMaker's vertical enterprise portals with Autonomy's ability to handle unstructured information clearly differentiates us from the other EIP vendors. Our enterprise customers asked us to provide a solution for dealing with unstructured data and an exhaustive analysis of the market revealed that Autonomy's technology was clearly ahead of the competition" he said. "Because Autonomy has the only technology capable of extracting the meaning from any piece of text, they will allow us to become the first EIP to offer this level of business intelligence."
Autonomy CEO, Mike Lynch, said he was pleased with his company's relationship with SageMaker and the value it will bring to customers in various industries. "This partnership will allow SageMaker to add unprecedented breadth and depth to their robust product line and provide the most advanced personalization features on the market," said Lynch. "Including our technology to organize vast amounts of internal and external information will provide SageMaker customers with a very unique enterprise portal solution," said Lynch.
