I'd like to see if we could arrange an in-person briefing for you to meet with Stephanie Lummis, Director of Product Management for Antarcti.ca at the upcoming KMWorld 2001 event on either October 31 or November 1.

 

We would appreciate an opportunity to have Antarcti.ca brief you about the company and their new Visual Net 2.0. Visual Net 2.0 is a state-of-the-art data visualization application that consolidates access to multiple databases and media formats, displaying search results in 2D & 3D graphical maps.

Product

Visual Net

Highlights

Antarcti.ca Systems provides a revolutionary technology - Visual Net - that enables fast, effective, and fun "search and explore" for information. Businesses today are suffering from information overload. Information users can't get the information they need when they need it to make critical business decisions. Organizations are spending billions on knowledge management/content management solutions Š ALL using antiquated one-dimensional text-based searching techniques. Visual Net takes advantage of proven mapping techniques and visual communication to take a magnitude leap forward in user effectiveness, making life much easier for information users and saving organizations substantial time and money.

 

Visual Net creates visual maps of data - from multiple databases or datasets and in multiple formats - enabling information seekers to quickly determine how to get the information they want and then find it Š absolutely critical to an effective knowledge management solution.

 

New features in version 2.0 are Target Flags, Filtering and Personal Visual Net

 

* Target Flags provide the ability to highlight specific records within a database so they can be easily organized and reviewed in the future - a graphical bookmark on a map.

 

* Filtering enables users to enter a keyword and receive only those targets that contain the keyword in their title or description on a map

 

* Personal Visual Net is a stand-alone version of Visual Net that sits on a user's desktop, enabling them to read in any database or hierarchically organized data set and navigate without being online.

 

Equipped with these new features, Visual Net 2.0 users achieve faster, more efficient information retrieval and bibliographies while sharing results more easily among groups. For the first time, people can access complex information graphically, in much the way the real world works.

More About Antarcti.ca

Antarcti.ca http://antarcti.ca was founded in 1999 by XML co-inventor Tim Bray to help people make better use of ever expanding, increasingly unorganized Intranets, Extranets, and the World Wide Web. Visual Net creates general-purpose, large-scale maps of medical and bio-informatics databases to help users find what they're looking for with unprecedented levels of intuitiveness and efficiency.

Highlight

KM World will be the focal point of knowledge management technology and applications as we move forward into the year 2002. Since you are pre-registered for this event, I thought I would take this opportunity to briefly introduce you to Knowledge Management Software (KMS) and to tell you about our newest release, "Universal Knowledge," which we will showcase in Santa Clara next week.

 

"Universal Knowledge" is the next generation of neural search engines that incorporates a natural language user interface to query the indexed data. This new release adds many new capabilities to the stable base of search capability. You will be able to search not only your own database of information, but escalate to Other Communities, the Web and to Experts. "Universal Knowledge" provides the analytic tools to constantly improve the quality of the responses provided to the customer.

 

Founded in Manchester, England, KMS trades on the British stock exchange and has been in business for more than 10 years, successfully meeting our customers' needs in managing their knowledge assets. We recently expanded our operations to the United States and are taking advantage of the KM World event to showcase this new product and to tell the story of our rapidly growing company and the very special niche it serves.

 

We invite you to see a demonstration of "Universal Knowledge" at our KM World booth on October 30 and 31. We will be located just inside the main entrance to the show floor, #304. You won't be able to miss it - there will be a large orange head revolving over the booth and you will certainly see the bright orange shirts worn by the KMS staff!

 

We can also set up an individual appointment for you with Don Ross, U.S president of KMS, who will be attending the event. He also will speak on October 30 at 3 p.m. in Session E104, "Smart eBusiness" in the track on "eBusiness and KM."

 

If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please reply to this e-mail or call Melody Campbell-Goeken or Ken Slavin at 210-826-5500.
