Ultra Knowledge has been placed at the heart of the some of the world leading online publishers,  some of which grew up online, others have transitioned from a traditional print background.  They all understand the power of Ultra Knowledge Search Technology and have ensured their organisations have the foundations to grow and keep offering their users, advertisers and staff innovative solutions to their needs.  Below is an example of some of the clients we are working with.

Cnet Networks UK 

"At CNET Networks, we are passionate about interactive content.  Across our growing family of brands, we are focused on harnessing the power of the Internet to create deeply engaging destinations that fuel people's passion for the things they love to do or need to know."

Ultra Knowledge has been chosen to install its ground breaking search technology in the following three Cnet Networks publications:

Zdnet.co.uk
This is the first Cnet Network site to use Ultra Knowledge Search Technology.  The focus of the site is best explained in Zdnet's own words:

"This site is the most advanced website for technology decision makers who need complete coverage of business technology. The launch of the new version takes the principles of web 2.0 and applies them to the business environment to give our members personal control over their experience. It brings a new look, features and functionality to enable IT professionals to interact with and get the advice of their peers, build their own social network, connect with vendors, and collaboratively solve operational and strategic business technology problems on their terms."

Matt Loney, the Editor and Site Director of Zdnet.co.uk said about Ultra Knowledge:

"This is about turning search into navigation; giving people more clues about what they are searching for to help them in their quest."

Cnet.co.uk
This is the site that caters more for the 'retail' end of the IT market.  Put simply Cnet says,"We’re here to help you choose the right products, get the most out of the technology you already own and make sense of your digital life."

Ultra Knowledge is currently working closely with Cnet to implement a number of the features of our search technology.

Their ultimate goal is to make smart decisions that demonstrate real competitive advantage and have a positive impact on their company's productivity and profitability."

Metro Belgium
Metro in Belgium is a free daily newspaper in French and Flemish, read by more than 841,500 people.  It has  the second largest daily distribution and is still growing.  Its readers are between 18 and 44 and are profiled as being urban, active, mobile and inquisitive.

"Fort de ses 841,500lecteurs, le journal Metro est aujourd’hui le 2e plus grand quotidien du pays et il continue à grandir. Le lecteur  Metro a entre 18 et 44 ans. Son profil : urbain, actif, mobile et curieux."  {French logo}

"De krant Metro is met 841,500 lezers nu al de tweede grootste krant van het land en blijft groeien. De Metro-lezer is tussen de 18 en 44 jaar, heeft een stedelijk profiel, is actief, mobiel en nieuwsgierig."  {Dutch logo}

Ultra Knowledge was selected to assist Metro in creating a multi-lingual online publication that would enable them to extend their brand and benefit from cross-media marketing.  The site was designed to enable Metro readers to keep up to date with news during the day whilst also taking advantage of a wide variety of lifestyle content.  To further enhance the user experience they used Ultra Knowledge technology to aggregate content 24/7 from more than 70 sites worldwide.  This enables their users to obtain a much wider view on the world and encourages them to use Metro as their 'home' site.

Metro had an archive of eight years content that was digitally stored but was in practical terms inaccessible.  Because of Ultra Knowledge technology this content is now easily searchable.  This offers their users a valuable background information source whilst increasing Metro's inventory and monetising formerly inert content.

Deriva.no 
This site has no background history in paper based media.  Also, despite having no editorial staff it is still capable of delivering the most important breaking news 24/7 in both Norwegian and English.  It covers international, regional and local news and allows site users to easily create their own news categories so that they can receive their own personally chosen mix of news.

Deriva.no is able to do this because it employs Ultra Knowledge Search Technology as the underlying core of its website.  It brings in content from hundreds of sources using the Content Aggregation service.  It provides our advanced query and category creation techniques to facilitate the construction of personal news channels, and it uses the Ultra Knowledge 'Hot Topics' algorithms to discern automatically what is 'hot' in the news. 

Currently we are extending the technology used on this site to enable automated user profile creation so that the site will be able to push valuable content to site users without the user having to spend time creating their own news channels.

"It can be frustrating having to visit multiple news sites as they all have different navigations you have to work out and they all use old search technology that is simply not good enough. We selected Ultra Knowledge search technology as they have provided us with new and effective search features that no other news service is offering. Ultra Knowledge allows us to put the search user in control, offering a number of ‘assistive’ search tools to help them find exactly what they need."
