Q-Sensei is Recognized as "Innovative Business Analytics Company to Watch in 2011" by Leading Market Analyst Firm

ROCKLEDGE, Florida, November 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

International market research and analyst firm IDC has selected Q-Sensei as one of six Innovative Business Analytics Companies under $100 Million to Watch in 2011 (IDC #230923, October 2011).  Q-Sensei is a next-generation search company creating multi-dimensional search-based applications for enterprise and consumers.

Q-Sensei's Enterprise Search Platform was recognized by IDC for exemplifying innovation in the business analytics sub-category of Collaborative Decision Management - "enabling documentation of decision processes, provide contextual collaboration, and improve not only information sharing but the sharing of experience that supplemented the data to inform a decision."

Corporations face information access and business analytics inefficiencies from handling large volumes of data housed in diverse data stores. Employees are struggling to find the needed information for critical decision-making.  

"New technologies are eliminating boundaries between content and data to enable pervasive access to all relevant information. Contributing to this innovation is a group of small companies with the vision and technology to have an impact on the IT marketplace," says Henry Morris, senior VP, Worldwide Software and Services.

IDC noted Q-Sensei's Enterprise Search Platform (ESP)'s ability to process and find correlations between various types of data (structured or unstructured) from diverse information silos, both internal and external.  Q-Sensei takes the information access process even deeper by "normalizing" the data and providing an organized structure to the content.  Furthermore, Q-Sensei's ESP captures employee expertise by enabling users to share files, provide reviews on content or share insights and correlations on information and data to also consider in the decision-making process.

"We are truly honored by this recognition from IDC," stated Ute Rother, CEO of Q-Sensei.  "Q-Sensei was borne out of combining two powerful concepts from a search and information access company and a social knowledge network.  This award affirms our vision that best strategic decisions are supported by computational power to provide a holistic and correlated view of information and easy-to-use interfaces for end-users and administrators to leverage collaboration and employee know-how."

IDC's "Innovative Companies Under $100M to Watch" reports are a qualitative evaluation of a set of vendors within a specific market; they are not a stack ranking. Nor do they represent an exhaustive evaluation of all companies in a segment or a comparative ranking of the companies in the report. IDC solicited entries from vendors of less than $100 million that exemplify specific key trends (selected by analysts) that are driving change in a specific software market. Vendors then submitted case studies that exemplified one of the trends used as the basis for the award. These case studies were evaluated individually and independently by related market analysts across several pre-determined criteria. The teams then met to review the scores. The case studies submitted for review had to demonstrate that the technology was available, able to be implemented, and provided real-world benefits to the customer.
