Inxight will resell Kapow's products to customers seeking additional functionality to collect information from Web resources for processing within the Inxight SmartDiscovery Analysis Server platform. With the Kapow Web Integration Platform, users are able to collect Web data, and extract relevant content and information in conjunction with their enterprise content. In addition, the product is designed to help customers keep their content collection fresh through automated or scheduled synchronization of content. In addition, if information is not found in the customer's current collection, an ad-hoc query system that is part of the solution can collect and normalize the content in real-time and insert it into Inxight SmartDiscovery. Once collected, users can then extract and analyze the unstructured text in the crawled data, using Inxight SmartDiscovery Analysis Server, which can process text and extract more than 30 entities such as people, places, currencies, dates, organizations, etc. Analysis Server also extracts facts and events involving these entities, such as travel events, purchase events, and member-of relationships.
