Sentience Technology Information

Every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data; so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone. The enterprise faces not only storage and compliance issues, but increasing inefficiencies in finding the right data. Anyone who works in an organisation needs access to information stored within the business and in increasingly large, matrixed companies they often have no idea where to turn. Sentience was founded to address a key set of problems in our information-rich world - namely managing the flood of information that workers have to deal with, and in parallel, providing the enterprise with an agile solution for managing unstructured data. Using patent-pending technology and progressive analytics techniques, the Sentience software creates a knowledge map of the relevant topics and domains within an organisation. Sentience maps the strength and relevance of topics to people and documents then presents recommendations in enterprise tools such as Outlook, which are relevant to the work a user is carrying out. This is supported by a comprehensive, structured and managed indexing, archiving and storage solution for all unstructured data in the enterprise, irrespective of source or location. Sentience will be released in stages throughout 2013 with specific, vertical market applications for finding expertise within the organisation, sales support, recruitment and human resources.
