Now for the first time, researchers have a way of consolidating and leveraging the vast array of information they are required to review and categorize via their web browser. By utilizing the annotation and reporting features available within iCyte, researchers can generate a customized report showing the pertinent information on any topic, regardless of what website or web-enabled database the information came from.

iCyte allows a researcher to annotate information that is available through their web browser, including information available on the world wide web or intranet. Both text and images can be marked by simply selecting the relevant portions of a document. The researcher can then enter their own notes about the annotation, and categorize it to allow for subsequent filtering.

A key advantage of the product is that it does not require any infrastructure changes within the firm. The product sits as a layer above all the databases, intranets and extranets the researcher is required to review. It is the ideal solution for researchers who are required to search across multiple discreet databases -  such as Lexis Nexis, Westlaw, Dun and Bradstreet . The product collates all the information into one easy to use, simple interface.

All annotations made in iCyte can be viewed in their original context. All annotated documents are saved to the iCyte server to safeguard against changes or deletions to the original document.

The product consolidates and leverages knowledge from both inside and outside the firm. It allows multiple users to contribute to the review of the material, thereby building knowledge on knowledge. Projects can be coordinated centrally, defining specific master tag or taxonomies for the various projects that are being worked on.

Annotations can be recalled, grouped and filtered using iCyte’s reports. A user can run a report on the annotations in a particular project, and apply filters to the report to only include relevant information. Annotations can be filtered by the tags and/or notes entered when the annotation was created, by the author of the annotation, or by the contents of the text the annotation was made over. They can be grouped on the report by user, tag or creation date. For each annotation on the report users can see the details about the website the annotation was made on, the text and/or images that was annotated, any tags/notes made in relation to the annotation, and additional annotation meta-data.
