Online Miner(TM) provides many graphical options enabling results visualization and navigation within corpus, giving faster access to relevant information. Online Miner(TM) plays a critical role in fields where information processing is complex due to the great volume of data, such as Competitive Intelligence, Customer Relationship Management, Scientific Intelligence and Reputation Management, and provides substantial productivity gains. Online Miner(TM) provides superior results from Text Analytics, due to its advanced linguistic engine and the use of customizable, domain-specific Skill Cartridges(R).
