Company Overview

Intelligenx (formerly i411) is a next-generation search technology company based in Northern Virginia. Founded in 1996 with the mission of changing the way the world looks for and discovers information - Intelligenx is a leading provider of search software and related services that enable organizations to maximize the value of information assets. By providing a front-end search and browse solution that can "bolt-on" to existing databases, Intelligenx provides a highly effective, interactive search experience for end-users. Intelligenx is particularly focused in the area of local search, where the objective is to help yellow page publishers exploit the full value of print-related assets and to help these companies provide a world-class experience for consumer online, while increasing the ROI to advertisers through better, faster search.

Ultrascalable, Visionary Core Technology
The result of years of experience focusing on the Local Search marketplace, the Intelligenx Discovery Engine solves fundamental problems related to searching categorized information. The technology enables full-text and category-based navigation throughout the search by dynamically presenting valid categories in real-time from multiple category hierarchies in the data with counts. Invalid categories do not appear as choices so that there are no dead-ends, and users can switch to whichever category hierarchy they prefer at any point in the search. The performance breakthroughs that make this possible enable continuous, incremental refinement of the data, engaging users in a dialogue and guiding them only to the most relevant results, without overloading them with information. Intelligenx has six patents pending in the fields of information retrieval, distributed processing, database technologies, full-text search algorithms, and business models related to searchable text and category-based retrieval for yellow pages and classified advertising.

Enterprise Search - The Growing Problems of Information Overload
Intelligenx offers a new paradigm for searching, browsing, and retrieving data in real time. Every organization has data relationships embedded in its knowledge base, proprietary content store, data warehouse, document repository, legacy system, spreadsheets or flat files, structure that can be used to more effectively and quickly guide data consumers to find what they need.

Intelligenx search applications, deployed on the front end of a single database or across multiple databases, use these data relationships to provide results in context, guiding users to the most relevant results, increasing hit rate, decreasing search time, and improving customer satisfaction.

Modern free-text search engines, built to index and search content from the quickly changing and unstructured world of the World Wide Web, are not equipped to leverage the underlying relationships within a data set. These data attributes, however, provide valuable information about the products or listings in the dataset, and can be used to allow users to select which search results are important to them.

The Intelligenx Discovery Engine delivers the features, functionalities, and performance of world-class search engines, such as linguistic processing and Boolean search capabilities. But most importantly, Intelligenx provides a contextual and multifaceted overview of the data with every result set at every point in a user's search, letting the user interact with and refine the result set until it is manageable and precise. Unlike the large majority of conventional search engines, users never have to contend with unwieldy lists of thousands or millions of results. Intelligenx software dynamically provides context by utilizing the attributes inherent in the data while eliminating dead-ends, so that users know exactly how and where to refine and explore data further.

This real-time iterative and interactive search method that enables users to view, discover, explore, and dissect their way through data is what makes Intelligenx's technology and approach different. Read more on why Intelligenx is superior.

Intelligenx focuses on certain data-intensive industries in the private and public sectors. In the publishing industry, for example, where companies sell data assets through online advertising or syndication and subscription models, Intelligenx platforms are being deployed by some of the nation's largest companies, including American Express Publishing, Dex Media, and Dun & Bradstreet. In the Federal government arena where interoperable access, querying, reporting, and information-centricity are critical, Intelligenx has developed applications for a number of agencies and offices including the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
