About Collexis Holdings, Inc.

Named a Trend-Setting product of 2007 by KMWorld, Collexis Holdings, Inc., a leading developer of high definition search and discovery software since 1999, is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina Columbia is the state capital and largest city of South Carolina. As of 2006, estimates for the population of the city proper is 122,819[1]. Columbia is the county seat of Richland County, but a small portion of the city extends into Lexington County.  (USA), with three subsidiaries: Collexis Inc. in Columbia, South Carolina, USA; Collexis, B.V. in Geldermalsen, The Netherlands; and SyynX Solutions GmBH in Cologne, Germany. Collexis proprietary technology builds conceptual profiles of text, called Fingerprints, from documents, websites, e-mails and other digitized content and matches them with a comprehensive list of pre-defined "fingerprinted" concepts to make research results more relevant and efficient. This matching of concepts eliminates the ambiguity and lack of priority associated with word searches. The results are often described as "finding needles in many haystacks Haystacks can be:
  • Haystacks (Monet), a series of paintings by Claude Monet.
  • Haystacks (Lake District), a mountain in England.

." Through this novel approach, Collexis can build unique applications to search, index and aggregate information as well as prioritize, trend and predict data based on sources in multiple industries without the limitations of language or dialect. Collexis's current clients in the public, private and academic sectors include the Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic: see Mayo, Charles Horace.
