What Bloor said about UKn when awarding a Silver Medal:
"Ultra Knowledge—where control by the user is important"
"Ultra Knowledge’s products allow users to define and control the direction in which a search is conducted. Users have a choice of interfaces to work from at any time. In the company’s words, its products exploit the capacity of human beings to make intuitive leaps that can focus and shorten the search process. The UKn product can handle a million documents in its smallest form, being expansible to a billion (109) or more. Ultra Knowledge is a young and very small business but is currently installing its products in some blue-chip customers’ organisations."

Bloor firstly divides companies into three groups:
-
the Market Leaders who are well established and predominant in the sector
-
