Stratify, Inc. (formerly PurpleYogi), the emerging leader in unstructured data  management, announced today that it has been selected by In-Q-Tel, Inc. to  implement an information management platform to accelerate data acquisition and  effectiveness for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In-Q-Tel, the  independent "venture catalyst" funded by the CIA, also became an investor  in Stratify, and led the latest financing round.

"In-Q-Tel is building a portfolio of highly innovative and important new commercial  technologies that can help tackle the toughest IT challenges the CIA faces  today," said Gilman Louie, In-Q-Tel's president and CEO. "We chose to  invest in the company and become a customer of the Stratify technology platform  because it offers a powerful solution to the problem of extracting knowledge  from large volumes of information," said Louie. "The Stratify core  functionality provides the high level of scope and accuracy required for  critical and large-scale government, as well as commercial, applications."

The Stratify software platform transforms unstructured corporate data — both  internal and external — into relevant and immediately accessible information by  automatically organizing millions of documents and displaying them in an  easy-to-navigate hierarchy. The Stratify Discovery System software  automatically organizes, classifies, and presents document-based information.  It collects this business-critical information from a variety of sources,  automatically organizes it into a hierarchy of topics tailored to the needs of  a particular enterprise, and presents it to users within an easy-to-navigate  interface.

"We are very excited to work with In-Q-Tel as part of their strategic imperative to  deliver technology innovation to the CIA," said Nimish Mehta, Stratify's  president and CEO. "The Stratify technology platform is particularly well  suited to government applications where one might find massive amounts of  unstructured information in the form of briefing documents, studies and  reports, which, when organized, can be immediately accessed and acted  upon," said Mehta.
