Gatfol Technology - Centurion

Gatfol Technology is an innovative way of transforming keyword queries into natural human-computer conversations. This technology provides an invisible, universal interface that acts as an interpreter between simple user input and the information requirements of applications for efficient retrieval. The Gatfol project began in the UK around 12 years ago, when a team of financial specialists created an intelligent accounting system that could detect patterns in accounting data. This system formed the basis of the Gatfol technology currently under development and was recognised with an EMDA Innovation in Software award from the European Union in 2006.

The current focus is on applying Gatfol's technology to enhance search using semantic intelligence (meaning in data), both on the web and in internal databases.
