Digimind will present its 2nd generation internet surveillance technologies at the Deutsches Competitive Intelligence Forum

DIGIMIND, n° 1 French provider of competitive intelligence software, will present its latest innovative solutions in the field of automated internet surveillance on November 23 at the annual Competitive Intelligence Forum in Germany .

Second generation internet surveillance technologies

The 2nd generation surveillance technologies developed by Digimind mean that unstructured data can be scanned automatically, no matter the type of electronic source (web, invisible web, discussion forums, newsletters, weblogs,.), and whatever the format (html, pdf, doc, ppt, xls, ps,.) or language (even those using other characters such as Chinese, Japanese, Arab or Russian).

Result: a single query can be used to monitor all types of heterogenous sources - no specific technical knowledge required - and the identified news items are presented in a standardized newsthread (title, automatic summary, extracted news, link towards the original document): a user-friendly report for further work by analysts and experts.

A seminal event for CI professionals in Germany

Following the success of the first forum in November 2004, the Deutsches Competitive Intelligence Forum is organising in conjunction with SCIP's Frankfurt and Munich branches a second forum, centered around the theme of monitoring markets and competitors, in the prestigious setting of the Andechs Monastery in the heart of the Bavarian countryside.

The 4-day Forum will include:

• workshops led by the Institute for Competitive Intelligence on competitive analysis, information network management, counter intelligence and scenario techniques;
• testimonials by CI professionals from major corporations such as Siemens, Bosch and Mercedes-Benz;
• meetings with the event's official partners, including Digimind ;
• opportunities for further discussions on a more informal basis during dinners or guided tours of Munich and the Monastery.
