Skytide, a provider of next-generation analytical solutions, recently announced a partnership agreement with Inxight, a provider of federated search, extraction and visualization solutions. The partnership will leverage each company's unique strengths in analytics to deliver a comprehensive business intelligence solution for text, providing users with an effective method to extract meaning from the high volumes of unstructured textual data that flows through their organization.

"Inxight is excited to partner with Skytide to help our customers improve their utilization of unstructured text," said Ian Hersey, Inxight's Founder and Sr. VP of Corporate Strategy. "Enterprises increasingly demand the ability to perform ad-hoc analysis across millions of textual elements to quickly identify trends and business insights. The Inxight/Skytide relationship enables this deep analysis across high volumes of textual data, without requiring major changes to an enterprise's infrastructure."

The new partnership's resulting solution will take advantage of Inxight's ability to add structure to unstructured textual data, something that has not yet been achieved by traditional business intelligence tools. The Inxight text analytics engine produces an XML based markup from raw text. The markup "tags" unique elements of the textual document to enable Skytide to perform analysis across vast volumes of text.
