NEW YORK, April 23, 2008 – INNODATA ISOGEN, INC. (NASDAQ: INOD) , a leading provider of knowledge process outsourcing services, announced today that it will be helping a key federal agency build information management and publishing systems that enable the agency’s analysts to extract more precise, more useful information from a broad range of international sources.
The multi-year IT services deal has an expected initial value of approximately $2.4 million in revenue, with possible expansions to support additional work.
“This is an important strategic win for us, further validating the expertise we bring to bear in an array of content technologies called semantic technologies,” said Jack Abuhoff, CEO and chairman of Innodata Isogen. “Semantic technologies help extract meaning from content. The Federal government is increasingly interested in using semantic technologies to serve national well-being and security.”
Abuhoff continued, “Importantly, this exposure enables us to bring insight and experience back to our core market segment, the information services and publishing industry. The parallels here are unmistakable. Our government clients want to enable their analysts to provide accurate and meaningful information to their customers – policymakers and warfighters – by extracting information more precisely from large and rapidly growing data repositories.
“Similarly, our information services clients want to enable their customers – such as physicians using information products to help diagnose illness, attorneys using information products to improve their clients’ likelihood of prevailing in court, and financial traders using information products to predict market trends – by extracting meaningful data across multiple repositories.
“As a consequence of our government work, we’re mastering cutting edge tools and services that effectively extract meaning from content. These technologies can be employed by government agencies as well as information services companies – both on the production side to lower the cost of product maintenance and management and on the end-user side to provide enhanced decision support.”
