Advanced semantic tagging helps find crucial intel faster, providing a competitive edge.

Companies are drowning in data.  Yet, insightful information is key to smarter decision-making and competitive edge.  Finding the “sweet spot” between information overload and relevant intel is one of the hottest topics in today’s data-driven decision-making realm.

Global media aggregation and monitoring company Moreover Technologies is moving aggressively to meet data-driven market needs—including use of advanced semantic tagging.  Recently, Moreover inked a multi-year contract that extends use of Thomson Reuters’ OpenCalais semantic tagging processes to social media.  ”Companies are demanding fast, reliable content results, especially elusive posts that are only five or six words long.  They don’t have the time or patience to sift through tons of irrelevant content in hopes of finding something meaningful,” says Paul Farrell, Moreover Technologies President.  ”OpenCalais links content with entities such as people, places, and organizations, facts such as people working for specified companies, and events like appointments to a new position.”
