SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Micro
Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced that it has been
recognized as a Leader in the 2020 Forrester AI-Based Text
Analytics Platforms Wave Reports* for its unified AI-based
platform, IDOL. For Micro Focus, the 2020 recognition demonstrates
IDOL's versatility in addressing diverse use cases for extracting
maximum data value in delivering holistic insights to accelerate
better business decisions.
Micro Focus' IDOL provides unified text and rich media data
analytics with support for over 1300 data formats. It enables
out-of-the-box access to over 150 data repositories behind and
beyond firewalls, (for example, Documentum, Dropbox, and such)
indexing data wherever it resides without disruption. Today's
organizations are faced with fragmented and siloed information that
is driving the need to easily connect to data across disparate
content repositories, and even cloud-based platforms.
"With hundreds of advanced analytics functions, as well as an
open and scalable architecture for third-party integration, IDOL
lends itself to supporting a broad spectrum of diverse AI use
cases," said Rick Carlson, VP of
Product Management, Information Management & Governance, Micro
Focus. "Customers of IDOL have long recognized its ability to serve
as a single platform that comprehensively addresses all of their
unstructured data analytics needs, and we believe its proven
performance has earned it recognition as a Leader from
Forrester."
In its people-focused evaluation, Forrester reviewed eight
AI-based text analytics platforms and assessed the strengths and
weaknesses of each offering based on a comprehensive set of
evaluation criteria that were grouped into three categories:
current offering, strategy, and market presence. The report
states, "in most organizations, unstructured analytics is still
federated – teams use different tools for people- and
document-focused applications...Organizations that are ready for
one platform to address all of the unstructured data analytics
should shortlist Micro Focus IDOL ."
IDOL unlocks hidden insights by revealing trends, patterns, and
relationships and is just one of the ways Micro Focus helps
customers bridge existing and the emerging technologies in the race
to digital transformation.
