Notiora Partners with Singlefin to Create World's Most Intelligent Web Filter

Notiora (www.notiora.com), whose solutions transform unstructured text into actionable information in the areas of ecommerce, Web filtering, and text mining, today announced a partnership with Singlefin. Singlefin (www.singlefin.net) is a leading provider of enterprise-class managed protection services. Three months ago Singlefin announced the availability of the world's first managed Instant Message (IM) and Web Filters, which provided business owners and network administrators with a maintenance-free, ASP-based alternative to large hardware and/or software deployments. This announcement magnifies the value of the offering by applying the most advanced classification technology available.

"Notiora solutions will use neural net and machine-learning technology to classify all pertinent Web sites in existence, labeling them in relevant and safe buckets so Singlefin customers can better control their Web-surfing experience," said Jim Moriarty, CEO of Notiora. "This partnership represents another industry for us to apply our solution to. Our technology is already used in the Biotech and Supply Chain industries and has delivered tremendous increases in accuracy in difficult text-analytics problems while cutting massive operational costs. We expect to deliver equal-or-greater breakthroughs in this industry."

Notiora creates solutions to the most challenging business text analytics problems using their proprietary suite of text-centric machine-learning technologies. The Notiora process leverages the existing wide knowledge of today's Web filters but then learns and becomes more accurate over time. This is essential in the dynamic environment of the Web. The learning is based on real customer behaviors and provides users with an ever-refined management tool to monitor Web browsing.

"It's not enough to offer a low-cost Web-filtering solution set for our customers, it must also be the best available anywhere on earth," said Jake Jacoby, CEO of Singlefin. "We're thrilled with this partnership as it will deliver the most advanced solution set available. It addresses the very difficult problem of Web-filtering and does so for just pennies-per-day. The real winner here is our customer base as they can control Web filtering at a level previously unattainable."

Singlefin's first-to-market, hosted Web filter allows administrators to monitor, document, filter and/or block employee Web surfing all without the large expense, maintenance or integration issues associated with hardware or software. Setup occurs in minutes, not months, as a single port adjustment on the customer's firewall enables the filter throughout the entire network including wireless devices. A smooth and richly featured Web console allows administrative control from any Web-connected computer in the world. The combination of Singlefin's Web and I'm Filters combined with the company's original Email Filter gives customers the most comprehensive messaging protection package available today.
