Basis Technology's Linguistic Software Enables Mimosa Systems to Deliver Content Archiving to Asian Markets

Advanced Chinese and Japanese search allows content archiving
system customers to comply with Asian regulatory requirements
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Basis Technology and Mimosa Systems announced today that Mimosa
has globalized its next-generation file archiving system,
NearPoint(TM), using Basis Technology's Rosette(R) Linguistics
Platform to provide advanced Chinese and Japanese search
functionality. With the enhanced NearPoint system, Mimosa's Asian
customers can now search through terabytes of archived data to be sure
they are adhering to government regulations on management and
retention of business records similar to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the
U.S.

"Enhancing NearPoint's searching capabilities for Japanese and
Chinese customers is an important step for managing email and
documents," said T.M. Ravi, CEO of Mimosa Systems. "With JSOX, the
Japanese equivalent of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act taking effect, and
China's adoption of Sarbanes-Oxley standards, Mimosa NearPoint is
addressing critical business and regulatory requirements for companies
in Asia. Integrating Basis Technology's linguistic smarts allows
NearPoint to perform in-depth searches that produce the accurate
results our Chinese and Japanese customers need."

The Rosette Linguistics Platform's multilingual functionality is
featured in some of the world's most widely used information retrieval
and text mining applications. It enables information retrieval
applications and search engines to understand queries and search web
pages in foreign languages by providing a linguistic analysis of each
word. Rosette performs critical functions, from identifying the
language of incoming documents to preparing the text for search with
word segmentation, decompounding, and part-of-speech analysis. Each
product incorporates an extensive knowledge base of the nuances of
each language, enabling applications to deliver reliable, accurate
search results in many languages.

"Mimosa is tackling a critical requirement for Asian companies -
their responsibility for managing email and documents and abiding by
regulatory requirements," said Carl Hoffman, CEO of Basis Technology.
"We're pleased to support Mimosa in providing world-class content
archiving solutions for Asian markets."
