Recognos

Recognos Romania recently became a Certified Partner of iQser AG based in Bassersdorf (Switzerland) – the supplier of the iQser GIN Platform. GIN is a semantic platform used for the integration of heterogeneous data sources including the Internet in order to allow a real-time semantic analysis of the integrated content.

Recognos Romania’s semantic group will develop applications using the GIN platform for international clients in Europe and United States.

Drew Warren, the CEO of Recognos Fiunancial LLP will present  at Semtech 2010 on Wednesday June 23rd, 2010 02:00 PM – 03:00 PM.

The presentation is: Semantic Applications in the Financial Services Industry. The main topics covers:

1. The ability to structure unstructured data
2. The ability to quickly and efficiently integrate data from many disparate sources
3. The ability to deeply mine and identify correlations and relationships between data points that would otherwise require a supercomputer

This presentation will include real examples that highlight each of the major benefits of semantic technologies. Applications to be illustrated include Mutual Fund Information Portal, Counterparty Risk and Exposure, and Alternative Investments Document Processing. All these technologies were developed by the Recognos Group (Recognos Financial, Recognos Romania, Recognos US).

Recognos Romania will participate at the 3rd Annual European Semantic Technology Conference, Vienna, Austria 2nd-3rd December 2009. During the Conference, Recognos Romania will participate at the Innovation Seed Camp with the new product named Document Advisor that allows users to ask questions from complex documents which are very difficult to understand for non specialists (legal, financial, etc.). You can meet our team at the Conference or during the Conference’s Business to Business talks.

METATOMIX EXTENDS REACH WITH NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERS
Company’s Powerful Semantic Technology Will Complement Financial Services Solutions from Recognos Financial and Criminal Justice IS Solutions from DOBBS, RAM & Co.

Dedham, Mass., February 2, 2009 – Metatomix, Inc. www.metatomix.com, a leading provider of semantic solutions www.metatomix.com/knowledgecenter/semantic.php to justice and public safety www.metatomix.com/360applications/index.php, financial services, manufacturing and life sciences organizations, today announced Recognos Financial and DOBBS, RAM & Co. (DRC) have joined its Partner Program. Recognos Financial will base its semantic solutions for customers in the financial services industry on the Metatomix semantic platform. DRC will offer its customers the option to integrate Metatomix’s technology with their existing criminal justice infrastructure to enable far greater, more efficient data sharing.

“Recognos Financial has extensive real-world experience helping financial services customers solve sophisticated data challenges with innovative technology,” said Drew Warren, president of Recognos Financial. “With its own proven success in this industry, Metatomix brings to this equation a semantic technology solution that plays a key part in helping us address these customer challenges.”

“We are very excited about our partnership with Metatomix,” said DRC CEO Ronald B. McCrae, “and look forward to a bright and prosperous future together. DRC has developed deep expertise in criminal justice information systems through work with customers such as the IRS, for whom we implemented and maintain the State Retrieval Subsystem for the IRS’s Electronic Filing System. This partnership enables us to offer Metatomix’s unique technology, skills and experience to our own customer base.”

“Strategic partners are a critical element in our past and future success,” said Metatomix CEO Jeff Dickerson. “We continue to invest heavily in our partner program at all levels. Recognos Financial and DRC provide solutions that are complementary with our own value proposition at both the technology and business level. We look forward to working closely with both organizations to provide mutual customers with innovative technology that dramatically increases their efficiency while also cutting costs.”

Recognos Financial will use Metatomix’s semantic solution to help financial services companies correlate the very large volume of detailed data included in lengthy and numerous prospectuses. With the Metatomix solution, this data will be presented to financial services companies’ customers on-line in a highly interactive, intuitive format. Metatomix’s semantic technology will also correlate and integrate data between both internal and third party sources without requiring changes to existing systems. The end result is a solution that rapidly and intelligently integrates vast internal and external data sources in a format conducive to analysis.

DRC, headquartered in Atlanta, is a small, minority-owned and -operated systems integrator specializing in criminal justice information systems (IS) implementation, project management, and programming, and business continuity development. The company maintains Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM) certification and leverages National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) standards. DRC and Metatomix have already successfully implemented a joint solution in Dougherty County, Georgia, to increase and optimize that county’s justice data sharing initiative. Metatomix’s commitment to DRC as a minority-owned and -operated business played a key role in the establishment and success of the partnership.

“This implementation represents one of the largest opportunities for a local, minority- or woman-owned business subcontractor of IT professional services,” said Pinky Modeste, a director in Dougherty County’s Water, Gas and Light office. “We applaud the commitment to minority- and woman-owned businesses that Metatomix has shown by partnering with DRC on this implementation. We have been consistently impressed with the personal attention shown by the members of the Metatomix team with whom we’ve interfaced. Working with company representatives who are competent in presenting the product but also have the ability to communicate effectively on a personal level goes a long way toward ensuring the project’s success.”

Metatomix’s Partner Program comprises platinum level partners, OEMs that integrate Metatomix solutions with their own private-label offerings; gold level partners that resell its semantic solution; and silver level partners that provide lead referrals.
