U.S. Army Selects NetBase's Content Intelligence Solutions for ARL

The U.S. Army has selected NetBase Content Intelligence solutions for the U.S. Army Research Lab, which consists of more than 2,500 scientists and engineers.
 
NetBase officials said that the agreement with the U.S. Army will provide content intelligence capabilities for situational awareness to ARL scientists and engineers, and will ultimately expand to larger user communities.
 
"Situational Awareness is the ability to generate actionable knowledge through the use of timely and accurate information about the Army enterprise, its processes, and external factors,” the U.S. Army said in a statement. “The imperative to develop actionable knowledge is a key driver of Army Business Transformation and Continuous Process Improvement. Without Situational Awareness, BT (News - Alert) cannot deliver the desired outcome of increasing Army combat capability by redirecting human and financial resources to the core war fighting mission."
 
NetBase officials said that the Content Intelligence platform speaks directly to this need: helping support superior decision-making, faster.
 
"Working with the U.S. Army is incredible validation for our content intelligence platform,” said Jonathan Spier, CEO of NetBase, in a statement. “The information demands that the U.S. Army Research Lab must address on a daily basis are staggering, and we are providing a new breed of search that will help them find answers and insights quickly so that they can make better informed decisions."
 
Spier said that as the company’s solution can read and deeply understand content on a massive scale, the company can deliver research answers that are orders of magnitude more relevant and valuable than past approaches.
 
NetBase provides content intelligence solutions to harness additional value and insight from any content source, including the Internet, premium and enterprise content.  The platform reads every sentence inside documents, linguistically understands the content and powers breakthrough search experiences that deliver highly relevant answers and insights.
 
The company also announced today that Rita Joseph has joined the company as its vice president of federal operations.
