Lexalytics, Inc. provides enterprise and hosted text analytics software to transform unstructured text into structured data.[1] The software extracts entities (people, places, companies, products, etc), sentiment, quotes, opinions, and themes (generally noun phrases) from text. Text is considered unstructured data which comprises somewhere between 31% and 85% of what is stored in any given enterprise.[2][3]
The software uses natural language processing technology to extract the above-mentioned items from social media and forums; the voice of the customer in surveys, emails, and call-center feedback, traditional media, pharmaceutical research and development, internal enterprise documents, and others.[4][5][6][7]
Corporate customers include Cisco Systems, Lithium Technologies, Vocus, Thomson Reuters, and ProQuest.[8] Lexalytics software is often deployed as part of a search solution in conjunction with search partners. These partners include Taylor Nelson Sofres (TNS Media Group, as Cymfony), Microsoft, and Endeca.[9]
Lexalytics is the leading OEM vendor of text analytics and sentiment analysis technology for social media monitoring, brand management, and voice-of-customer industries, powering companies like Radian6, MediaVantage (now Canada NewsWire), evolve24 (now Maritz,_LLC, Cymfony (division of Kantar_Group, Vocus, ScoutLabs (now Lithium_Technologies).
In July 2008, Lexalytics entered into a joint-venture merger agreement with U.K based Infonic.[10] Lexalytics continues to operate under its own name worldwide.
