- DataSea, Inc. Linda Webster, 604-988-5875 lwebster@datasea.com DataSea, Inc. announces the release of its first commercial product, "DataFusion," a productivity add-in for Salesforce.com. DataFusion brings the power of DataSea's proprietary inferencing technology to the world's largest hosted Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application.
DataFusion gives Salesforce.com users the ability to see the relationships among their data in a single step,
without navigating through tabs and objects or drilling down through detail pages. The interface is a single input box into which queries and commands are entered, and the output is presented as a unified table showing all information related to the input. For example, users can find all contacts in a particular city, or find solutions to a particular case based on its description, along with all related information. DataFusion's one-step interface can also send email, make phone calls, map addresses, and provide bird's-eye mini-reports without opening a separate application.
DataSea's Inferencing Engine fuses data sources into a unified neural-like, self-organizing network, then uses human-like reasoning coupled with a language parser to interpret the meaning and context of natural language input. Not only can it find related information across multiple sources in one step, but it can execute commands and assimilate new information into the network, behaving much like a human brain.
"With the information fused together, and with being able to just ask for what we want with simple commands, anyone can dive deeply into the data with almost no training," says Dr. Rocky Nevin, co-founder of DataSea and inventor of its revolutionary architecture. "Features planned for future release can do complicated things, like correlate data from different sources, timeline it, and pull out complex relationships."
The technology is so broadly applicable, the team at DataSea had a difficult time finding the right application for its first commercial venture. For DataFusion, DataSea took a small part of its technology's capabilities and customized it for Salesforce.com's interface. Salesforce.com's open API and broad user base consisting of over 1.1 million subscribers offered the perfect combination of technological platform and ready-made sales channel to introduce DataSea's technology to the marketplace. After passing a rigorous partner certification process, DataSea was given the official stamp of approval by Salesforce.com to be an AppExchange Partner.
DataFusion's free beta version is now available through Salesforce.com's AppExchange. Following the beta period, the application will be offered at $10 per user per month, with a 15-day free trial. More information can be found at DataSea's website at www.DataSea.com.
