Factiva and Verity Partner to Improve Global Enterprises' Intellectual Capital Management
SUNNYVALE, Calif., and NEW YORK - 2003-10-28 - Factiva™, a Dow Jones and Reuters Company, and Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), today announced an agreement that will help global enterprise customers to effectively and easily organize their intellectual capital assets.
The companies will jointly offer enterprise customers the opportunity to integrate a set of Factiva's industry-specific taxonomies with Verity's intellectual capital management software, K2 Enterprise. In addition, customers can gain access to Factiva's global collection of nearly 8,000 content sources, and engage the taxonomy and technical experts of Factiva Client Solutions.
Under the terms of the partnership, Factiva will offer its content and taxonomy expertise, including strategy and implementation -- adaptable to the specific needs and rules of an organization - for use with Verity's flagship intellectual capital management solution, K2 Enterprise. Factiva will offer its established general business taxonomy for companies, industries, regions and subjects, as well as its recently announced specialized pharmaceutical and healthcare taxonomy. Factiva Client Solutions, including its taxonomy specialists, will now be available to assist with Verity implementations.
"The combination of Factiva's taxonomy expertise, content, and client services with Verity's K2 Enterprise solution will give our joint customers a serious competitive advantage in their marketplace," said Clare Hart, president and CEO of Factiva. "Integrating one of Factiva's industry-specific taxonomies with Verity's comprehensive classification tools will add significant value to an enterprise's search and content organization."
Verity K2 Enterprise enables global organizations of all sizes to identify, manage and utilize the information contained in their digital and human assets to realize competitive advantages such as increased productivity, shortened business cycles, and expanded sales and revenue. It fully integrates search, classification and personalization capabilities for enterprise portals to uncover vast amounts of information and data residing in both internal and external repositories. K2 Enterprise is a fault-tolerant, highly scalable solution that delivers a host of other advanced search capabilities, such as adaptive ranking, support for 26 languages, as well as comprehensive gateway support to leading information repositories, including Lotus™ Notes, Microsoft Exchange™, ODBC and Documentum.
Factiva has more than 20 years of experience managing unstructured data, building taxonomies, and implementing custom content solutions for its clients. Each day, Factiva processes, categorizes, and stores over 115,000 articles in multiple formats and languages. Its content archive includes more than 200 million documents, all consistently categorized to a complex taxonomy, enabling Factiva to deliver targeted and personalized information to nearly 1.6 million paying subscribers in information-intensive organizations around the world.
"We believe that a pure automatic approach is not the optimal solution for solving an enterprise's content categorization challenges due to the ever-changing dynamic nature of enterprise data. Business portals do not operate in a box. Flexibility and expertise are key," said Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity's president and CEO. "This partnership will provide our K2 Enterprise customers the flexibility to expand the content organization capabilities in their application by using Verity's comprehensive classification technologies with Factiva's taxonomies and concept definitions that have been built, tested and fine-tuned by highly respected taxonomy experts."
