PRINCETON, N.J. April 4,2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- LikeIt(r) software, a suite of products developed by Netrics, Inc. that uses patented technology to perform intelligent data searches, is proving its ability to increase revenue at e-commerce sites by enabling people to find what they want more quickly. In on-line directories and catalogs, as well as Internet and intranet applications, the software provides greater than 99 percent accuracy, returning correct results regardless of errors in either queries or source data.
No special query syntax is required so non-technical and multi-lingual users can quickly and easily find the information they need.
"Few of us can imagine writing without the use of spell checkers," says Dr. Stefanos Damianakis, President and CEO of Netrics, Inc."Similarly, LikeIt will soon define what every user should expect from the search capabilities on his or her computer. Computers can work on human terms, enabling people to find what they need in a data resource without having to use a special query language. With LikeIt, searches result in fast and accurate matches, thereby increasing productivity and saving user time."
LikeIt works with any encoding system that represents data as a set of integers, ranging from alpha/numeric characters to sounds. It is ideally suited for a broad range of business applications such as those found in the medical, pharmaceutical, educational, publishing and manufacturing industries. In addition, LikeIt offers multilingual capability and can easily handle more than 18 European languages supported by the ISO Latin 1 character set.
The LikeIt suite is flexible and is designed to be quickly and easily integrated into any data environment in a timely, unobtrusive and cost-effective manner. As a website search tool, the software has proven advantageous for e-commerce with its fast, accurate intelligent lookup. Other applications include: inventory, content and knowledge management; customer relationship management (CRM); and asset management. Netrics also offers interfaces for developers who want to add LikeIt Intelligent Lookup technology to their software products.
