ClearForest, a Thomson Reuters company, provides text-driven business intelligence solutions that supply the analytical bridge between two previously disconnected worlds of information--unstructured text and enterprise data. Their award-winning solutions offer manufacturers, publishers, federal, chemical & financial service organizations critical links to situational context buried in text for use in Business Intelligence [BI] systems. Adding this situational context to enterprise data systems empowers organizations to: uncover hidden relationships, evaluate events, discover unforeseen patterns and facilitate problem identification for rapid resolution. Applying this intelligence enables organizations to avoid loss of profit margins due to preventable write-offs, customer churn, legal settlements, warranty claims or inefficient product development cycles. In short, they enable Global 5000 companies to make better business decisions by turning large volumes of contextually-based information into proactive business intelligence.
