Newly Released Verity Software Manages Organizational Data Growth
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Verity Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software
powering corporate intranets and e-commerce sites as well as e-business
applications, today announced that Gary Szukalski, director of industry
marketing, will deliver a vendor solution presentation on Verity(R) K2
Enterprise (K2E) 4.5 at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2002 in Orlando, Florida.
Szukalski will present "Verity K2 Enterprise: Discover, Organize and Connect
With Social Networks" on Monday, Oct. 7, 2002, from 12:45 to 1:45 p.m.
With over 18 years of experience in the computer industry, Szukalski is
responsible for Verity's outbound marketing campaigns, sales support and
vertical industry positioning. Prior to joining Verity, he was a systems
programmer for EDS and General Electric Information Services Company (GEISCO).
Szukalski also served as vice president of North American Sales Operations at
FileTek Inc.
Szukalski will explain how Verity K2E 4.5, the recently released version
of Verity's K2 Enterprise software, fully integrates the three tiers of the
knowledge management infrastructure of Discover (search), Organize
(intelligent classification) and Connect (personalization). Verity K2E 4.5's
integrated features let users organize and find documents in hundreds of
different file formats throughout an organization and link to the experts
behind that data. The first tier (Discover) consists of advanced search tools
including federated search, which brings back results from many sources to a
single query; parametric search, which finds single or groups of documents
with specific attributes; and relational taxonomies, which enable simultaneous
search of two or more taxonomies for powerful discovery capabilities.
With the second tier (Organize), Verity manages the exponential growth of
unstructured data within an enterprise by organizing taxonomies of information
with extreme accuracy. Verity K2E 4.5 provides customers with a flexible and
accurate classification solution that combines automation with domain
expertise.
In addition, with the release of K2E 4.5, Verity introduced The
LexisNexis(TM) Content Organizer, giving customers the option of using
LexisNexis' pre-built taxonomies to automatically classify enterprise
information. The LexisNexis(TM) Content Organizer is a product exclusive to
companies that use K2E and allows Verity customers to combine their own
enterprise-specific rules to organize their information the way they do
businesses.
Verity K2E 4.5's third tier (Connect) leverages the information created
when people search, browse and access documents. The Verity Recommendation
Engine recognizes the social networks that are dynamically formed in online
environments and uses them to enhance the flow of knowledge throughout an
enterprise. For example, based on the document that a user is viewing or the
user's previous queries, K2E identifies and locates experts on the document's
subject matter.
