Text-IE Inc. is developing Text-Analytics technologies and middleware for facilitating the development of applications in the area of unstructured data - access, retrieval, categorization, extraction and mining, as well as a wide range of knowledge management applications.

Most of the information corporations need to deal with today is in the form of unstructured text - newspaper articles, reports, email messages, internet activity (blogs, chats, tweets). Our goal is to help you deal with this huge amount of unstructured data as if it was organized in a database with a known schema -- locate, organize, access, analyze and synthesize unstructured data. This entails handling both Content (content driven access and analysis) and Network aspects -- who connects with whom) and results in transforming raw data into useful and understandable information & integrating it with existing resources.
