As Text Analytics truly comes of age, we are witnessing the transition of Text Technologies from the established and still hugely successful life-sciences research and intelligence analysts to business applications such as CRM, media and publishing, competitive intelligence, and financial analysis.

Highlighting the new areas Text Analytics has moved into, Seth Grimes of Alta Plana commented; "Text technologies are allowing marketers to hear the 'Voice of the Customer' by enabling analyses of social media and contact-center interactions; they are helping revolutionize approaches to long-established practices in the legal world".

The annual meeting for all those driving forward the Text Analytics revolution is the Text Analytics Summit (Boston, June 16-17, 2008) and it's back for its 4th blockbusting year this year. The question is - are you ready to unleash the huge potential of your unstructured data for profits?

Joshua Bull, Director of Text Analytics News, highlighted the significant changes to the agenda for the Text Analytics Summit in 2008, stating; "we are embracing the surge in interest that Text Analytics has seen in the last 12 months which has seen the industry grow massively. Commercial deployments are now common place and we're now into a new phase of maximizing revenues from a host of new applications...it really is an exciting time.

Bull went onto to comment on the current business climate and stated; "In increasing turbulent market conditions, Text Analytics is a proven of way of securing some major wins for your business. Remember this is unstructured, untapped data and could - if done properly - unleash a wealth of information on your customers and your business!"
