Semantra's software solution allows users worldwide to retrieve data from their corporate databases by entering inquiries in a familiar search box, using common, everyday language. The solution bridges the worlds of business intelligence and enterprise search. It is the first software product that enables non-technical users to conduct ad hoc searches of corporate databases using the language of their business.
"Semantra improves business performance by allowing users to find critical business information for fact-based decision making," stated Chris Davis, Semantra's CEO. "Employees should ask themselves how they make business decisions today. Are their decisions based on intuition, partial information, or speculation? We are giving users the opportunity to have a conversation with their corporate databases. We are ultimately empowering users by providing access to the specific data they need to solve problems and take advantage of market opportunities."
"We are pleased to continue our partnership with Semantra," said Kent McGaughy, principal of CPMG, Inc. "Since our initial investment in September 2006, Semantra has successfully proven the value of its solution. The company has a focused strategy and is well positioned for continued growth."
In many cases, the Semantra search solution is not deployed as a stand-alone application but rather is embedded into enterprise applications. "Our solution immediately improves the value of companies' critical business applications including CRM, BI, and ERP," added Cody Aufricht, Semantra's marketing vice president. "Companies make enormous investments in their enterprise applications, but, too often, complexity and inflexibility prevent users from realizing the full benefit of these solutions. We change that by giving users access to the precise information they need, when they need it," concluded Aufricht.
