Integration of Nstein’s Text Mining within Endeca Empowers Customers to Take Advantage of Unstructured Data Within Their Organizations to Create Unsurpassed User Experiences

MONTREAL, Canada - October 20, 2009 – Nstein Technologies today announced that it has joined the Endeca Extend partner program to help customers quickly and easily integrate its text mining capabilities directly into the Endeca Information Access Platform. Leveraging the extensibility of the McKinley Platform, and specifically Endeca’s Content Acquisition System (CAS), Nstein can build integrations to a public application-programming interface (API) supported by Endeca. In addition to a lower cost of ownership, through the innovative Endeca Extend program, Nstein now offers customers quick and easy integration of Endeca records for the unrestricted exploration of unstructured content.

By providing an integrated search and navigation experience that combines Nstein’s text mining with Endeca, joint customers can offer their audiences a richer search experience, automate workflows and personalization, greatly enhance discovery and help to improve SEO. By enriching content within search, Nstein is fulfilling its promise of connecting people with relevant content.

“Endeca and our business partners solve specific high-ROI business problems with lower cost-of-ownership, faster time-to-results, and greater value than any alternative,” said Jason Purcell, senior vice president of marketing and product management, Endeca. “Through our partnership with Nstein, our customers can seamlessly integrate our complementary technologies to help customers make better choices online and employees make better daily decisions”

Nstein Technologies’ patented linguistic Text Mining semantically analyzes and automatically tags client content –images, videos, user generated content, articles, product data sheets, enterprise knowledge- with rich metadata, meaning and relationships. Customers using Nstein and Endeca together include American Legal Media, the Financial Times and Scripps Networks.

Through the Endeca Extend program, Endeca and Nstein Technologies allow customers to use extracted meta-data to provide new facets for Guided Navigation, cluster related topics, offer landing pages, and improve search relevancy. Endeca customers can easily run their data through an Endeca Extend partner solution, extract additional meta-data elements from the text, and append that meta-data to the original content. This lowers the integration costs and adds significant structure to the content to enhance the overall user experience. The pre-built integrations allow joint customers the ability to implement best-of-breed technologies without sacrificing ease of integration.

“Synergies between Endeca and Nstein Technologies benefit our joint clients and their end-users,” said Jean-Michel Texier, CTO of Nstein. “This powerful combination allows companies to unlock tremendous value from droves of unstructured information and derive measurable top- and bottom-line benefits.”
