Skytide, a provider of next-generation analytical solutions, announced a partnership agreement with Inxight, a provider of federated search, extraction and visualization solutions. The partnership will leverage each company's unique strengths in analytics to deliver a comprehensive business intelligence solution for text, providing users with an effective method to extract meaning from the high volumes of unstructured textual data that flows through their organization.

Businesses today are producing an increasing volume of textual documents; up to 17.5 trillion electronic documents and over 52 billion corporate emails are sent out every day. Until now, a critical disconnect has existed in the ability of technology solutions to deliver complete and timely intelligence based on these extreme volumes of highly complex text.

The new partnership's resulting solution will take advantage of Inxight's ability to add structure to unstructured textual data, something that has not yet been achieved by traditional business intelligence tools. The Inxight text analytics engine produces an XML based markup from raw text. The markup "tags" unique elements of the textual document (i.e., paragraphs, sentences, phrases, words, and entities) to enable Skytide to perform analysis across vast volumes of text.

The Skytide solution is an XML-based analytical platform that works directly on source data, such as the XML-tagged files produced by Inxight, without any of the additional data transformation required by conventional BI tools. This allows business users to push extreme volumes of highly complex data through the analytical process in near real-time and without any of the information loss inherent in any data transformation process.
