WCC Smart Search & Match Positioned in Gartner Magic Quadrant

Evaluation by Leading Research Firm Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

Utrecht, Netherlands, October 27, 2006 – WCC Smart Search & Match, the leading provider of high-performance search and match software, today announced its placement in Gartner’s prestigious Magic Quadrant , in the Information Access Technology category. WCC’s core technology ELISE allows any business or organization to better search both structured and unstructured data.

ELISE is a high-performance search and match software system that provides meaningful, ranked results across any type of data. The scaleable architecture is designed to allow the user control over how results are delivered, all in sub-second response time. Unlike traditional search, ELISE guides the user to the best match by finding similarities. This more human-oriented search and match style is based on very advanced mathematical techniques.

‘We are honored to be evaluated by such a prestigious research firm,’ said Peter Went, CEO of WCC Smart Search & Match. ‘Our continual 30 percent sales growth year after year is proof of our stability and commitment to providing our customers the very best options for their search and match needs. ELISE is an agile, intelligent system that can be conveniently customized to work with any organization’s data requirements.’

The Gartner report evaluated 30 companies ‘with capabilities that have gone beyond enterprise search to encompass a collection of technologies including search; content classification; categorization and clustering; fact and entity extraction; taxonomy creation and management;’ etc. Gartner defines information access technologies as those that ‘collect and condense information or map its native location so users may actively seek it out, effectively analyze it and remain informed of it.’

‘While we recognize the value of traditional search techniques, they are not always the best choice for every company,’ said Went. ‘ELISE appeals to those organizations who want control over how searches are conducted and how results are returned, and who need meaningfully ranked results that work with both their structured and unstructured data.’

In addition, ELISE uses a variety of mechanisms to provide organizations with true visibility into their results – including factors such as related searches (also known as affinities), weighted criteria, and bi-directionality.

ELISE provides a unique offering to the following market segments:

• Identity Matching: An aggressive new market for WCC, ELISE offers a vendor neutral platform for searching both biometrics and biographic data. Accuracy and speed-of-search means customers have far less anxiety over security-related issues.

• Employment Arena: ELISE is used by staffing companies, job boards and departments of labor to match jobs and candidates worldwide. Unifying both structured and unstructured data, it provides meaningfully ranked results with data sources that run into millions of candidates and vacancies.

• Enterprise Content Management: ELISE is capable of finding and retrieving those ‘hidden gems’ that often get lost in peta-size archives. ELISE accommodates eDiscovery and Records Management with its ability to search multi-media archives including video and photo data.

• Business Intelligence: ELISE is able to take BI technology one step further with ‘guided search’, transparency, and ‘bi-directionality’, offering real-time, ad-hoc analytics with the ability to search both structured and unstructured data.

• eCommerce: ELISE’s ability to return results in sub-second response time allows customers to search interactively through millions of products including such complex offerings as travel packages or online classifieds, advising on the best available product as a professional sales person would.
