Internal communications have suffered dramatically in recent years with an explosion in published content, and a resultant lower employee engagement. Coupled with the popularity of Facebook, twitter etc is also feeding through into the business world, so staff now expect Enterprise Social software which does not impose any rigid structure on users; and is more collaborative. Some organisations have recognised this, but they have been illequipped to manage the resultant interactions and content. Finally, many organisations allow Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), but they then find it much harder to distribute content to such a wide variety of employee’s tablets and smartphones. Skim.it Limited is developing a Natural Language Processing (NLP) API to improve the way we share and consume information online. The NLP technology will carry out semantic text calculations of text heavy documents and web articles, and summarize them into short skimreadable snippets, called Skims. Giving the reader a clear overview of an article’s content, allowing them to determine the relevance of the article, and whether to continue reading in full. Our technology will be offered to the business market within our own application and as an API to aid the visualization, exploration and dissemination of an organisations native content. This project builds on the success of a recent Smart Proof of Concept grant. We have a strong management team with experience in building startup businesses to multi-million dollar exits, and a technology team who include renowned Natural Language Processing professors. Our board of advisors include Vice Presidents of large enterprises, and top University Professors.
