TEMIS, the leading provider of Semantic Content Enrichment solutions for the Enterprise, today announced that Luxid® Navigator -Biopharma Edition was awarded the 2014 CODiE Award for Best Science and Technology Information Solution by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industries.

Luxid® Navigator -Biopharma Edition is a user-friendly analytics portal that helps Life Sciences professionals visually explore the world of biopharma data and answer multiple questions with a single tool. Leveraging advanced computational linguistics, the Software-as-a-Service platform charts the biopharma landscape by aggregating and analyzing Life Sciences open data.

This enables Life Sciences professionals to find and share critical information faster, and make better informed clinical, regulatory, and business decisions.

The first round review of all nominees is conducted by media, publishing, and information services executives with considerable industry expertise, including members of the industry, analysts, media and bloggers, and bankers and investors.
