The Path Forward
Embrace the moment
Insight engines apply relevancy
methods to describe, discover,
organize and analyze data.
This allows existing or synthesized
information to be delivered proactively
or interactively, and in the context of
digital workers, customers or
constituents at timely business
moments.
Insight Engines are the
answer

ABILITYTOEXECUTE
Relevancy and
completeness matter
most
“Search is about finding answers, content,
and documents; adding useful context to
apps; and augmenting human intelligence.
The most important requirements are the
relevancy and completeness of the
returned results.”
