Advanced Provider of Information Discovery and Knowledge Extraction Solutions is Honored
HERNDON, VA – (Feb. 26, 2009) – Chiliad, a pioneer in “Connecting the Dots” technology, today announced it has been named as one of the “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management” by KMWorld, a leading industry publication. The coveted list recognizes companies that have helped to create, enhance, or define the knowledge management market.
“Each company embodies as part of its culture agile and limber execution of its mission, embracing a spirit of both adaptability and innovation,” said Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief of KMWorld.
Chiliad software enables organizations to extract meaningful and timely knowledge, along with real time actionable intelligence out from under mountains of disparate information sources, structured and unstructured data, and incompatible applications so as to truly realize “Knowledge is Power”. Through its patent pending software innovations, which combine enterprise search, sophisticated analysis and business intelligence, Chiliad creates a virtual information sharing environment across organizational and application boundaries. This capability is further enhanced by a patent pending architecture which creates a cooperative peer to peer virtual computing environment out of client’s existing IT infrastructure.
Now in its ninth year, the annual list of “KMWorld 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management “ award, was compiled by a collaborative team comprising colleagues, KM practitioners, theorists, analysts, vendors and their customers.
“KMWorld’s recognition of our unique ability to offer a knowledge whole that exceeds the sum of the information parts, is gratifying,” said Dan Ferranti, CEO of Chiliad. “While our solution has already been referred to by government officials as the “holy grail” of knowledge extraction in the post 9/11 world, translation of this into successful commercial, industrial, and business applications now offers further validation.”
About Chiliad
Chiliad is the world’s most advanced provider of inter and intra–enterprise information discovery and knowledge extraction solutions-empowering organizations to actualize upon “Knowledge is Power”, thus realizing the full potential business value and actionable intelligence from all data, sources, and applications.
Chiliad’s patent-pending software was specifically born out of the need to overcome the information “stovepipe” problem, which was the nation’s principal vulnerability on September 11, 2001. Investigations into 9/11 concluded that "Connecting the Dots" across information stored in incompatible databases, documents, and applications, located in different departments and organizations, would provide the proactive, real-time situational awareness necessary to interdict and avert a similar problem in the future. Today, this need not only applies to government investigatory entities but also to all other types of organizations and business applications as well.
A decade of development and $80 million of investment to solve this problem has led to Chiliad’s patent-pending Chiliad Discovery/Alert TM software, and Global Knowledge Fusion" TM technology. These provide the real-time capability to securely find, fuse, analyze, monitor, share and act upon information from within the enterprise and across the globe as if it were all seamlessly contained in a single, local, real-time application. Chiliad Discovery/Alert TM, is completely non-disruptive and seamlessly complements all existing IT environments, data sources and applications.
