By integrating the Semio Taxonomy Solution with XPS, Sequoia customers will have the ability to conduct more precise searches against all text-based portal content, increasing workplace efficiency. Sequoia Software is the first portal software developer to partner with Semio to provide enhanced text-based searching within an enterprise portal application. Semio's solution makes it easier for portal users to browse and discover information quickly. Users get more than just a list of documents--they get an understanding of where a specific concept fits into their portal's overall collection of information, and what conceptually related content is available. By addressing the requirement of categorizing text-based content, Semio's technology complements Sequoia's XML indexing technologywhich enables context-sensitive searching of XML content. "Sequoia effectively addresses its customer's need to aggregate, index and search XML-based content," said Roger Ferguson, chief executive officer, Semio Corporation. "By integrating the Semio Taxonomy Solution, Sequoia is extending the value and impact of XPS, giving its customers the tools they need to accurately and efficiently categorize and search all their content." "Because our overriding goal is to improve the way our customers access, assimilate and act on this content, we must provide tools that are optimized for categorizing and searching structured and text-based information," said Mark Wesker, president, Sequoia Software. "Our partnership with Semio allows Sequoia to offer customers the information management tools they require to fully exploit their information resources, regardless of format."
