SciBite launches SaaS versions of its semantic technology products

SciBite, an Elsevier company and award-winning semantic technology company, has today unveiled its new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version of TERMite, SciBite’s named entity recognition engine, and its CENtree™ ontology management platform. Researchers can use the new cloud-hosted TERMite and CENtree as part of their digital workplace, offering greater flexibility to enable them to work from multiple locations and settings.

Removing the need for customers to purchase, maintain and administer both hardware and software, SaaS streamlines the deployment of SciBite tooling. Companies seeking SciBite solutions benefit from faster onboarding and avoid the infrastructure burden. Automated upgrade management guarantees that customers always benefit from the latest product version.

Lee Harland, Chief Scientific Officer at SciBite, said: “The last 18 months have shown the immeasurable value that scientific research has to offer. Through global collaboration and data sharing, breakthroughs have been achieved in record time. For this speed of innovation to continue, it is crucial that the right tools and data are widely accessible.

“SciBite is rapidly growing, serving customers in more regions and markets than ever before. This is the perfect time for us to take the next step and deliver our services from the cloud, widening access to more markets and to non-traditional workplaces.”

SciBite uses Elsevier’s well-established cloud hosting tooling and processes, supported by a dedicated SciBite-Elsevier IT team, who proactively track and maintain this service. The SaaS offering provides continuous monitoring to ensure maximal uptime as well as following the Elsevier 10-step security policy, providing a trusted and secure environment for its hosted solutions.

With the new SaaS versions of TERMite and CENtree, customers will see productivity exponentially increase through:

• Less procurement time, with lower overall and bundled hardware, maintenance, and administration costs.
• Rapid implementation of products once purchased, with seamless upgrades.

• Flexible access to a secure environment from multiple locations and settings.
