IDOL helps organizations to meet this challenge by unlocking hidden insights by revealing trends, patterns and relationships and is just one of the ways Micro Focus helps customers bridge existing and emerging technologies in the race to digital transformation.
Micro Focus IDOL provides AI and machine learning unstructured data analytics of all text and rich media with support for more than 1,300 data formats. It enables out-of-the-box access to more than 150 data repositories behind and beyond firewalls, (for example, Documentum, Dropbox, and such) that allows data to be indexed wherever it resides without disruption.
In addition to being a Leader in the Forrester Wave: Document-Oriented Text Analytics Platforms Report, IDOL has also been recognized as a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: People-Oriented Text Analytics Platforms, Q2 2022 report.
