The objective is mutual technology integration and the development of innovative new multilingual text mining applications for government and commercial markets. The integration of TEMIS' Insight Discoverer solutions for European languages and Basis Technology's Rosette(R) language analysis system for Asian and Middle Eastern languages will allow users to extract meaningful intelligence from unstructured data. The companies' multilingual text mining applications will allow organizations to identify, group, and classify unstructured documents based on relevancy, similarity, and combined statistical and linguistic analysis.

"Therefore, it is no surprise that we see growing demand in both commercial and government markets for text mining solutions that can discover valuable information within large volumes of multilingual data. By joining forces, TEMIS and Basis Technology create a strong solution that enables companies that must plumb the depths of content in multiple languages to both understand it and analyze it. This market is growing rapidly--at over 25% per year--and it will continue to do so." This integration has also strengthened Basis Technology's language coverage, adding 16 additional European languages to its Rosette(R) Linguistics Platform. In addition, TEMIS has added Asian and Arabic languages to both XeLDA(R) and Insight Discoverer(TM) Extractor. These language enhancements will greatly benefit their respective existing clients and will also create new geographic opportunities for both companies. Basis Technology will use its expertise in linguistics products to ensure technical assistance, support, maintenance, and further development of TEMIS text mining products for TEMIS's North-American customers. At the end of 2004, after four years of successful growth in Europe, TEMIS opened a U.S. sales office in response to the sustained demand in the market.
