Brad Allen is a proven technology visionary. Siderean Software
is the fifth company for whom Brad has developed products and
brought them to market from the initial concept and design to
full scale completion and implementation. Siderean’s navigation
software, Seamark Navigator, is sophisticated enough to be deployed
within the U.S. government security agencies and some of the most
well respected financial and manufacturing institutions in the
country.
Like any true visionary, Brad believes the industry status quo
must be challenged and improved. The reality in the current search
landscape is that today’s solutions are falling short for
the enterprise because too often the results are too broad or
not specific enough.
Brad responded to these shortcomings when he unveiled the fourth
generation of Seamark Navigator 4.0, on April 24th 2006. This
new version allows enterprise executives to aggregate, organize
and humanize information from multiple sources on the Web and
within the enterprise to have a bird’s eye view of all the
relevant and available information on a topic, while drilling
down to a bug’s eye view of the specific data needed to make
mission critical business decisions.
Allen has had a passion for technology all his life. He has been
awarded five U.S. patents in metadata, online predictive memory,
autonomous learning and reasoning and case-based reasoning systems
in the more than 20 years he has worked in IT. In 1995, as co-founder
of Limbex Corporation, he created WebCompass, an Internet search
tool that won Best of Show at COMDEX Fall '95 and in 1984, while
at Inference Corporation, he created Inference CBR, one of the
first CRM problem resolution products on the market.
