Entopia K-Bus3 for 3rd generation information discovery

Product highlights

Entopia K-Bus provides a software infrastructure that captures the essence of enterprise content and the employee interaction around it to deliver never-before-known business insights through advanced information discovery mechanisms. The infrastructure uniquely leverages the dynamic activity and business context around content to capture the real-time value of information to specific individuals and groups within the organization. Entopia employs a range of application services that deliver this insight such as: * Enterprise Search * Expertise Location * Content Visualization * Social Network Mapping

Presentation highlights

F204 Social Activity Empowers Enterprise Discovery Systems Igor Perisic, Chief Scientist, Entopia Enterprises are like living organisms. Individuals interact within the organism, across corporate structural or procedural boundaries, on an informal as well as a formal basis. Informally this might be done at the water cooler, a football game or at a pub. Formally this might happen within communities of practices, on collaborative projects or when editing and publishing documents. Perisic discusses how a core competence in applying strategies and tools for performance improvement can benefit from the natural interaction between individuals while respecting the user's privacy concerns. All the while, illustrating how the nature of these "social" interactions should be used to provide the user with better information. Finally, we will describe how these interactions will benefit, for example, a search engine if, and only if, their integration occurs seamlessly without disturbing the natural flow of social interactions within the organism. B303 Knowledge Transfer for Your Growing Customer Base Matt Denison, Executive Director, Knowledge Transfer, QCSI & Kimberly Davis Bawden, VP, Sales & Marketing, Americas, Entopia QCSI, one of the nation's leading providers of information technology software and services for healthcare, did not have an effective method to capture and efficiently transfer the knowledge necessary to support a fast growing customer base. QCSI's executive team recognized the importance of sharing the complex best practices surrounding the implementation of their healthcare administration solutions and as a result, established the Knowledge Transfer initiative that enables the current knowledge owners to capture this knowledge in a way that can be reused by others. This session shares their experiences and discuses the technology support -- Entopia's information discovery software infrastructure and its collaborative content management solution.

Speakers background

Mr. Denison joined QCSI in February 2001, bringing over 20 years experience in healthcare information systems to one of the nation's leading providers of information technology software and services for healthcare.

Speakers background

As Chief Scientist, Dr. Igor Perisic heads Entopia's research program to ensure state-of-the-art search and metadata generation tools. In this role, Dr. Perisic has created a new paradigm, leveraging natural social activities in everyday work and networks of corporations to drive the development of Entopia's award winning Knowledge Locator. The Slovenian born French-speaking, Swiss current focus is on semantic analysis of unstructured texts through advanced data mining tools such as neural networks and vector space methodology as well as information discovery tools using customized taxonomy generation and social networks modelization.
