Paoli, PA and Toronto, ON-May 25, 2005- Intellisophic, Inc. (www.intellisophic.com), the leading publisher of taxonomic content, today announced a joint marketing agreement with Arikus, Inc, a leading provider of enterprise search and categorization solutions to drive accurate enterprise search at a compelling value.

Through this relationship, Intellisophic's vast library of taxonomies are custom formatted for inContext™, a robust enterprise search and categorization solution from Arikus.  The inContext technology goes further than any other known industry document ranking technology in delivering accurate, relevant and quality results.  Instead of dealing with keywords, Arikus' smart-retrieval technology makes it possible to "understand" the actual context and meanings of text—enabling searches to deliver more accurate and pertinent results. inContext enables enterprises to transform volumes of data, residing in multiple repositories in both structured and unstructured formats, into a valuable business asset.  inContext addresses two key business issues: Realizing returns-on-investment on IT and on Intellectual Capital. 

Due to a decrease in storage costs, companies are leaving more information online and making it accessible to both internal and external customers.  With the amount of information accessible to enterprises exploding, search has become a critical issue.  Given the volume of content available today, companies must have a sophisticated way of organizing and finding their content.  inContext provides knowledge workers and site visitors with simple, intuitive, single-point access to data from across the enterprise, the corporate intranet, and the Internet.  By leveraging Intellisophic taxonomies, inContext harnesses a corporation's expertise, tightens corporate alignment by fostering a common understanding of what the company "knows", and increases the productivity and depth of knowledge workers.

"In response to customer demand it became clear that great search on its own is not enough.  We needed to offer a more robust guided search," explains Markus Gunn, vice president of business development for Arikus.  "To enhance the inContext search and categorization solution, we set out to find a partner who is in the business of creating authoritative taxonomies.  It was important for us to find a partner who shared one of our core values: building better products at a better price."

"Arikus's ability to deliver a quality search and categorization solution to customers at an undeniable value was very compelling to us," remarks Jeffrey Sager, vice president of marketing and sales for Intellisophic.  "Uniting our taxonomies with their solution was a natural fit and promises to be mutually beneficial to the market."

Taxonomies are widely acknowledged as the key to high performance in search and categorization.  Intellisophic taxonomies are machine-developed from authoritative knowledge sources such as encyclopedia and technical reference publications.  This process allows deep, rich taxonomies to be developed in record time without the time and expense of traditional (manual-creation) methods.  Intellisophic's extensive taxonomy library spans millions of subject areas for use in nearly every industry.  Subject areas include Business; Construction; Energy; Engineering & Materials; Environment; General Knowledge; Hospitality; Information Sciences; Law, Government & Criminal Justice; Life Sciences, Medicine & Healthcare; Manufacturing; Mathematics & Science; Terrorism; and Transportation, among others. 

The combination of inContext and Intellisophic's industry specific taxonomies helps customers understand the unstructured data created in e-mail, office documents, CRM notes, web pages, call center reports and research systems. Customers can leverage inContext and Intellisophic's deep, rich taxonomies for more accurate search, information discovery, classification, categorization, portals, data warehousing and business intelligence.  inContext uses Intellisophic's library of predefined taxonomies to provide "guided navigation" to users, as users can drill down through document categories to quickly find the information they are seeking.
