COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
From mining industry journals for information about your competitors or potential customers to extracting details of interesting patent applications; from creating internal knowledge resources from internal company documents (e.g. emails, minutes, departmental records) to analysing legal documentation, there are a wide range of applications for I2E in commercial intelligence.
I2E can rapidly extract important facts from large amounts of data. It has the power to search for kinds of things (e.g. people, locations, dates) rather than just words and so queries can represent questions of the form Who programs Java and has worked for us in Germany?
By feeding the output of the I2E system into other analysis tools, a detailed picture of an area of interest can be built up and examined in detail.
