Exploiting pervasive enterprise chronicles using unstructured information management

Strides made in semiconductor technology and pervasive devices are fueling the ability to amass ever-increasing volumes of rich multimedia data chronicling the activities and experiences of enterprise employees. Rich content analytics are crucial to exploit the potential of such electronic chronicles, which represent a vital untapped resource in today´s enterprises. This paper describes a system called Picasso that adds a new dimension to enterprise search and mining, by capturing and structuring information surrounding employee activities and making available vital insights from such information through our unstructured information management architecture (UIMA).
