RELEASED: September 26, 2005
(Sioux Falls, SD) --- BrightPlanet Corporation announced today the release of version 5.0 of its Deep Query Manager™ (DQM) document intelligence platform for knowledge workers. The new version achieves extreme scalability and broad internationalization and file format support, among other enhancements.
“This new version of DQM ushers in a new era in the scalability of our
software. Via a distributed architecture, we can now configure
installations of virtually any size with varied functional demands,”
said Michael K. Bergman, BrightPlanet’s CTO. “And we have added the
ability to harvest and process up to 140 different foreign languages in
more than 370 file formats plus new content export and system
administration features,” he added.
The Deep Query Manager is a content discovery, harvesting, management
and analysis platform used by knowledge workers to collaborate across
the enterprise. It can access any document content – inside or outside
the enterprise – with strengths in deep content harvesting from more
than 70,000 unique searchable databases and automated techniques for
the analyst to add new ones at will. The DQM’s differencing engine
supports monitoring and tracking, among the product’s other powerful
project management, data mining, reporting and analysis capabilities.
DQM’s new distributed architecture allows extreme scalability into
hundreds or thousands of users across multiple machines as an
organization’s needs require. It also permits the organization to
purchase only those server capabilities it currently needs, and expand
its infrastructure incrementally to accommodate growth. A new System
Administrator’s Console enables easier monitoring, maintenance and
re-configuration of a DQM installation.
DQM’s new Internationalization Module allows search, harvest, indexing,
analysis, and management of document content in any of 140 languages.
With the addition of capabilities from Basis Technology Corp.,
Cambridge, MA, it is also possible to conduct more sophisticated
syntactical and morphological analysis on over a dozen languages,
including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian,
simplified and traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic.
The File Translation Module adds the capability of harvesting from more
than 370 file formats, including numerous word processor, spreadsheet,
email, presentation, graphics and CAD formats. The Content Access
Module exports high-quality extracted body text to external analytical
applications, using an XML-based exchange format. “These modules allow
BrightPlanet’s software to interoperate even more effectively in the
multi-vendor environment prevalent in most large enterprises today,”
said Bergman.
“These advances respond to requests from the intelligence community and
multi-national corporations, bringing great value to our existing and
new customers,” stated Duncan Witte, BrightPlanet’s president and COO.
“And, in response to vendor requests, we have also in these releases
packaged our major technology engines with APIs [application
programming interfaces] for licensing to software OEMs,” he added.
