WCC Smart Search & Match Positioned in Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology
Evaluation of Leading Research Firm Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to ExecuteUtrecht, Netherlands, September 26, 2007 – WCC Smart Search & Match, the leading provider of high-performance search and match software, today announced its placement in Gartner’s prestigious Information Access Technology Magic Quadrant . WCC’s core technology ELISE allows organizations to better search both structured and unstructured data, in the areas of employment, identity matching, e-commerce and enterprise content management.
ELISE is a high-performance search and match software system that provides meaningful, ranked results in sub-second response time. Its flexible and open architecture is designed to allow the user control over how results are delivered, regardless of the source or type of data. Unlike traditional search, ELISE guides the user to the best match by finding similarities. This approach, modeled after the way the human mind works, is achieved using advanced algorithms and a variety of fuzzy matching techniques including weighted criteria, flexible numeric boundaries and affinity matrices.
“We believe our position in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is further confirmation of our unique ability to provide the smartest search and match for our customers’ business needs,” said Peter Went, CEO of WCC Smart Search & Match. “ELISE's unlimited scalability and enhanced capabilities with both biographic and biometric data demonstrate its unmatched ability to take on today's complex, peta-sized data archives.
The Gartner report 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.” Gartner evaluated over 33 companies for this year’s report.
