Lost in the Ocean of Text Documents?
A huge amount of organisational knowledge
is stored in text documents
85 to 90 percent of all corporate data
according to Merrill Lynch and Gartner studies
Even when DMS and desktop search are used, a huge
amount of time is necessary to find important
information
80% of companies and 40% of public administrations
need more than one day
[Zylab survey]
Text Mining helps to explore and
analyse natural-language texts
uncover relationships, recognize trends
group, condense pieces of knowledge
categorize text information
