U.S. Army Adds Inxight Star Tree Visual Navigation to its Hyperwave Knowledge Management System

By Anonymous

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - March 6, 2002 - The U.S. Army has improved the ability of its computer users and information analysts to quickly navigate large-scale databases with the addition of Star Tree™ visual navigation from InxightÒ Software. Integration of Star Tree into the Army’s Hyperwave IS/6 knowledge management platform was done by Kanda Software of Concord, Mass.

“This is a great example of how two complementary technologies can be integrated to take the whole category to a new level,” said Ramana Rao, Inxight’s chief technology officer. “Hyperwave offers an extremely powerful platform for managing huge volumes of data in many different file types and formats, but the larger the knowledgebase the greater the challenge for the user to find the best possible information. Star Tree is the perfect addition to Hyperwave as it lets users navigate graphically instead of using text commands, which is more natural and has been shown to cut navigation time by more than 60 percent. In addition, the integration done by Kanda is truly seamless.”

Star Tree is Inxight’s proven technology technique for visualizing and navigating large hierarchies of information. Users can quickly view and intuitively understand relationships by simply clicking or dragging the nodes on an interactive tree diagram. It is easy to focus on areas of interest while maintaining a sense of that area's relationship to other information in the tree. By visually communicating multiple levels of information in a single view, Star Tree users can quickly see and understand entire Web sites, information directories, catalogs, organization charts and large document collections.

The Hyperwave solution is a collaborative knowledge management system that allows the creation and access of information anywhere in the extended enterprise. The Hyperwave eKnowledge Infrastructure consists of three principal products that can be implemented as an individual or multiple solution: the eKnowledge Suite, the eKnowledge Portal and the eLearning Suite.

Together, these technologies allow users to correlate information from multiple formats such as documents, images, charts, graphs, and tables and to navigate them based on their associations to one another. Star Tree creates a visual information navigation system that will help improve the discovery and handling of extensive and constantly changing data in Army’s databases. Faster and more intuitive data navigation will translate into faster and better decision making by the information analysts and other military personnel.
