CHICAGO TECH LEADERS, HOSTWAY & INTELLEXT, PARTNER TO HELP
COMPUTER USERS "GET OUT OF THE SEARCH BOX"
Hostway offers Watson 2.0 to help customers enhance their knowledge
base by automatically receiving relevant content from various information
sources.
Chicago, IL-Wednesday, September 28, 2005-Hostway
Corp., a leading provider of Web hosting and managed services, is
excited to offer its customers a novel desktop application that automatically
delivers relevant information from various sources based on the context
of users' work. Hostway has partnered with IntellextT
(www.intellext.com), the "Intelligence in Context" software
company, to offer this unique tool, Watson 2.0, to both existing customers
and site visitors.
Watson 2.0 proactively delivers relevant, real-time information to
users by using the very words and phrases that are typed into documents
to actively query search engines, blogs, desktop search tools, news
sites, subscription-based sources, and even corporate content and
knowledge management systems. There's no need for users to interrupt
their work by typing search words or visiting separate Web sites and
search boxes. Instead, Watson delivers search results to users'
desktops in an intuitive sidebar while they work in Microsoft Word,
Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer and Firefox.
"Think of Watson 2.0 as your own personal research assistant
that brings you the information you need from an abundance of sources,"
said Al Wasserberger, chief executive officer of Intellext. "Intellext
created this tool to get people out of the search box and embrace
innovative ways to research and receive information. Through our affiliate
program with partners such as Hostway, we are expanding the reach
and value of Watson."
"Hostway is continuously updating its product offerings to provide
cutting-edge technology that addresses customers' business needs,
so we are thrilled to be the first Web hosting provider to offer Watson
2.0 as an innovative desktop application that brings information to
users," said John Lee, vice president of marketing at Hostway.
