Wellspring, a leader in technology transfer information systems, and Deep
Web Technologies (DWT), a company specializing in next-generation federated
search, have partnered to create a software system for companies and tech
transfer offices to seek out and evaluate emerging innovations.
Search Once Scouting allows users to search simultaneously from more than
thirty authoritative sources with over 100 million records, including databases
for patents, publications, inventions and expertise. The system will be
integrated into Wellspring’s software platform to offer a quick, simple way to
discover promising technologies for commercial development. Search results are
aggregated, ranked and de-duplicated to eliminate wasted effort.
“DWT’s tools and content integration are logical strategic steps of
Wellspring’s product evolution,” says Dr. Robert Lowe, CEO of Wellspring. “The
seamless integration enables our clients to find and import critical
information without any data entry. Ultimately, the DWT partnership results in
better informed decisions for our clients.”
Abe Lederman, CEO and chief technology officer at DWT, comments, “We are
very excited to work with Wellspring in the technology scouting and corporate
venturing market. We worked closely with Wellspring to provide their customers
with access to accurate set of high-quality science and technology information
sources, including Wellspring’s Flintbox, a leading technology marketplace for
technology transfer and technology scout professionals.”
DWT and Wellspring will debut Search One Scouting at the Wellspring User
Group Meeting in Chicago on October 8th and 9th.
