ZyLAB to Offer Full Taxonomy Support for ZyIMAGE Users


ZyLAB provides free upgrade to current customers with valid AMS contracts; Offers enhanced information structuring, concept extraction and text-mining capabilities for improved information management

December 21, 2004 - McLean, VA - ZyLAB, an established market leader of document imaging and information retrieval software, today announced the immediate availability of an expanded suite of taxonomy-enhancement tools for current ZyIMAGE users with valid Annual Maintenance Service (AMS) contracts. This free upgrade provides users with the additional capabilities they require to optimize existing and new taxonomies.

The need for better efficiency and more operational transparency has forced many organizations to focus on the development of sophisticated hierarchical structures with which to organize their information. These structures ("taxonomies"), however, are only as effective as an organization's knowledge management (KM) system's ability to support them. A KM solution must have a full range of advanced searching, information structuring, and conceptual maintenance tools to optimize taxonomies and make enterprise information more manageable, usable and therefore more valuable.

ZyIMAGE's expanded tool suite has added new technology such as concept extraction and text mining to its already sophisticated search and retrieval functionalities. In addition, to make its system "smarter", ZyIMAGE users can now define taxonomy entities and store these entities as key fields, for more specific types of searching. The ZyIMAGE system can also now handle an indefinite amount of these key fields, increasing the flexibility and dynamism of the entire system operation.
