Great piece of news from SEEC/IBM. Not out on the wires yet but it is on the SEEC Web Site. IBM Integrates SEEC's Scaleable Smart Change 2000 AccuFindT Technology into its Year 2000 Toolset to Increase Renovation Productivity PITTSBURGH, PA. April 20, 1998 - Today SEEC announced that IBM Global Services has completed its benchmark testing of SEEC's Smart Change 2000 AccuFindT feature and has approved the technology to be used for the "Fix" phase in its worldwide "Transformation 2000" factories. The AccuFind feature will be added to existing Transformation 2000 factories located in Endicott, NY, Chicago, IL, San Jose, CA and Charlotte, NC. SEEC's AccuFind feature works in conjunction with SEEC's Smart Change 2000T renovation tool. Based on a supplied SEEC pattern list, SEEC Smart Change 2000 identifies the date items as well as indirects and synonyms, which are determined based on their relationship to those date items. SEEC's AccuFind facility then automatically segregates and tags the date items that need to be examined as potentially affected by the year 2000 from those that can be disregarded. The seed pattern list may be customized to provide an even higher level of accuracy. According to Mike Charecky, Director of Conversion Centers at IBM Global Services, "SEEC's tools are both highly scaleable and produce accurate results, meeting key IBM acceptance criteria for year 2000 tools." Ravi Koka, President and CEO of SEEC stated, "Over the years, we have invested a great deal of time and effort in research and development, ensuring that our products are reliable and easy to use. This is a significant milestone for SEEC's technology."
