IQT Partners with NetBase to Enhance Insight Discovery of Scientific, Technical, Engineering, and Business Related Data
September 28, 2011
NetBase, the Insight Discovery Company, today announced a strategic partnership with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the independent investment firm that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community.
NetBase’s patent-pending lenses focus searches by organizing the patterns detected by a highly accurate and scalable semantic search engine in the context of a specific set of questions relevant to a discipline or audience of researchers. This technology streamlines the scientific, technical, engineering, and business insight discovery and research process. The deployment of NetBase’s software as a service is expected to integrate tightly with existing search technologies, adding a layer of insight not currently available to end users.
“We are excited to partner with In-Q-Tel and to work together to meet the critical technology needs of the U.S. Intelligence Community,” said Peter Caswell, CEO, NetBase. “The high standard of quality required by IQT’s customer agencies acknowledges the depth and accuracy of NetBase’s semantic search capabilities.”
“NetBase is an important addition to our strategic investment portfolio, expanding the semantic search technology capabilities available to our customers in the U.S. Intelligence Community,” said T.J. Rylander, Partner on the Investments team at IQT. “We are impressed by the capacity of the technology to enhance users’ ability gain deep insight from volumes of unstructured data. In a ‘Big Data’ world, these capabilities have strong applications in both the public and private sectors.”
