We were fortunate to meet up with Kathleen Reidy with the 451 Group. Here is who they are:
“The 451 Group is an independent technology-industry analyst company that was founded in 2000, and has offices in the US and Europe. Our research makes sense of swiftly moving trends in the industry creating information technologies (IT) used by large and midsized organizations.”
Kathleen spent about an hour with us. We gave her an overview of the company, a demonstration of GroupSwim, and discussed our semantic technology. After the session, she asked to speak with one of our customers. She then interviewed Andy Jenks, Senior Vice President of Sales, at Discovery Mining. As always, Andy did a great job describing how GroupSwim is helping their company collaborate more effectively and saving them time.
Here is Kathleen’s blog post and impression of GroupSwim. She discusses our use of semantic analysis and how unique we are. My favorite quote is “applying this sort of text analysis in a group collaboration / social software tool isn’t something I’ve heard much about lately. It will be this sort of thing that will differentiate vendors from the increasingly large pack moving forward.” We are grateful for the praise and look forward to ramping our sales and marketing, and making serious noise in the Social Collaboration space.
