Extracting Value from Corporate Intranets

Most companies set up intranets to encourage internal collaboration, idea generation and information sharing amongst their employees. Ideally, this knowledge-store houses the concepts, plans and innovations that turn into the company’s best practices, standard operating procedures and Intellectual Property (IP). In reality, company intranets often become departmental silos of information, further divided by business unit structures and multiple geographic locations.

Cognika Solution

Cognika’s smart analytics software — Cognika ESP — takes knowledge management to a whole new level. The tool’s unique search and analytics algorithms serves as a powerful trend identification engine — viewing the company’s entire knowledge landscape (data, text, sound and images), recognizing key patterns and extracting insights in ways not feasible until now. Traditional keyword search engines employ a one-keyword-to-many-answers approach, presenting users with an exhaustive list of possible answers. Cognika’s advanced search technology inverts the paradigm (many-to- few) in order to generate a targeted list of highly relevant answers. In addition, Cognika’s unique n-way matching technology compares message sections to reduce the possibility of false positives in the results.

Using Cognika ESP, companies can effectively and quickly mine their internal knowledge-store in its entirety to:

  • Identify patterns of concepts as and when they are posted
  • Provide insights into topics of interest (such as topic summaries)
  • Proactively identify trends around clusters of knowledge that can be investigated
  • Provide a “smart search” interface that can be used by end-users to post queries in a multi-dimensional fashion, maximizing information precision and recall

Cognika also enables companies to leverage, condense and present information in a single Cognika View™ which can be delivered on PCs, PDAs and mobile phones. This view is created using Cognika’s proprietary algorithms for auto synopsis, abstraction and sentiment analysis.

With Cognika’s powerful technology, companies can now leverage the full potential of their IP assets. These can be further combined with external sources of information such as industry Websites, news feeds and trade publications.
