Verity K2 Enterprise - Key Features
To find the right answers, you need the right tools
Verity K2 Enterprise is the only product suite that integrates complete search, classification, recommendation and monitoring/alerting capabilities - all the tools you need to find the right answers to your questions. This integrated approach lets you deploy ICM solutions that meet your company-specific requirements. It also delivers lower total cost of ownership and shorter implementation cycles than is possible with non-integrated, point software products.
Repository Access & Content Security
Intellectual capital is spread across your enterprise in file systems, content management systems, databases, email and a wide range of business applications. In order to manage it all together, you have to be able to access it. Pre-built Verity Gateways provide this access to most common enterprise information repositories, while a Gateway Developer's Kit allows you to build custom gateways to virtually any application. Most importantly, Verity K2 Enterprise enforces your existing security models including the native security of applications accessed by Verity Gateways to ensure end-users can only view the information they're authorized to access.
Taxonomies & Classification
Context is what gives information its value. If you don't know how information fits into the big picture, you don't know how to use it. Verity K2 Enterprise lets you augment automatic classification with domain expertise to classify enterprise information into taxonomies that reflect the way you organize your business. It also lets your employees, partners and customers organize information to support their individual, team or project needs by creating Personal and Collaborative Taxonomies with a single click. Pre-built Verity Taxonomies are also available to let you either jump start your taxonomies from scratch or enhance your existing taxonomies with industry standard categories and definitions.
Recommendation Features
The value of intellectual capital is increased by its relationships with the people who created and use it. In fact, your most valuable intellectual capital is locked in the minds of your people. The Verity Recommendation Engine actively and passively captures the expertise of your employees, customers and partners, and uses it to automatically enhance search relevancy, recommend documents, categories and queries, locate experts and bring together communities of practice.
End-user Access Tools
Employees, customers and partners need more than a search box to find the information they need. Verity K2 Enterprise delivers the most complete range of end-user access tools available including advanced full-text search, parametric selection, relational taxonomies and federated search to let you implement applications that best suit your information assets, business processes and end-user needs. Verity's Open Navigation also lets you combine access tools, classification and recommendation features to dynamically lead individual users to the information they need.
Monitoring/Alerting Capabilities
The addition of Verity Profiler to Verity K2 Enterprise provides your content evaluation applications with real-time monitoring and alerting capabilities. As soon as new content is created, Profiler evaluates it, determines who in your organization needs it, and automatically alerts them, whether the information is about a support case escalation, an engineering change order or an email that violates a regulatory compliance policy.
Reporting & Analytics
Real-time analysis of how people are using your intellectual capital management system allows you to see what they're looking for, what content they're using the most and what information they're looking for but not finding. This can expose holes in your enterprise knowledge base, reveal trends in their early stages and which content or information sources aren't being used. This gives you the insight you need to optimize both your Verity K2 Enterprise system's performance as well as that of the repositories and applications it is accessing.
