COGITO Focus Nominated for New Product of the Year at the Seventh Annual Stevie Award, 5-20-2009
New York, May 20 2009 – Expert System, leading provider of semantic software that discovers, classifies and interprets unstructured text information, was named a Finalist today in the “New Product or Service – Computer Software” category for The 2009 American Business Awards (ABAs).
The American Business Awards are the nation’s premier business awards program. All organizations operating in the U.S.A. are eligible to submit entries to the ABAs – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small.
“Despite very tough economic conditions, many organizations and individuals continue to perform well,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of The Stevie Awards. “The results of the 2009 ABAs thus far are a testament to the resilience, creativity, and hard work of American organizations, executives, and workers.”
More than 2,600 entries from companies of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration this year in more than 40 categories. Expert System’s COGITO Focus semantic software is among the best new products and services in the U.S. in the computer software division.
COGITO® Focus
COGITO Focus is a revolutionary semantic indexing, search and analysis tool that manages internal and external text information. Unlike most search technology, COGITO Focus automatically understands the true meaning of words, in the same way human beings are taught to read and understand. This capability enables fast and effective retrieval of the most relevant information from unstructured forums such as databases, social networking sites and corporate Intranets.
“COGITO Focus was released to market exactly one year ago, and in that time has become one of the most intuitive semantic search and analysis tools available today,” said J. Brooke Aker, CEO of Expert System U.S.A.“Receiving this nod from such distinguished judges with the American Business Awards means we have something truly special with this product, and I couldn’t be more pleased.”
Members of the American Business Awards’ Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staff will select Stevie Award winners in final judging that will continue through June 3. Finalists were chosen by business professionals nationwide during preliminary judging in April through early May.
