Micro Focus today announced that it has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Document-Oriented Text Analytics Platforms, Q2 2022 report for its unified AI-based data analytics platform, IDOL. For Micro Focus, the 2022 recognition demonstrates the success of IDOL's ongoing strategy in addressing diverse use cases for extracting maximum data value and delivering holistic insights to accelerate better business decisions.
In its evaluation, Forrester reviewed a dozen document-oriented text analytics platforms and assessed the strengths and weaknesses of each offering based on a comprehensive set of evaluation criteria grouped into three categories: current offering, strategy and market presence.
The report states, "IDOL's strengths include document capture, including one of the most comprehensive document-focused data integration and document-workflow orchestration capabilities (partially based on Apache NiFi), native image analytics, comprehensive NLU (over 1,000 entities), a multitude of OOTB ontologies for data enrichment, document level text analytics, and secure handling of sensitive data (including PII redaction in audio, images, and video)."
"Micro Focus IDOL's ability to comprehensively address all unstructured data analytics needs is unmatched. "We believe IDOL's proven performance has earned it recognition as a Leader from Forrester."
