Access Innovations, Inc. Named to the KMWorld 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management For 11th Year

Access Innovations, Inc., provider of the Data Harmony software suite, has been named to the prestigious KMWorld list of 100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management for the 11th year.

“Our annual list of 100 Companies to Watch in the knowledge management space is a testament to their agility to thrive in an environment of rapidly changing technologies, while not losing track of the importance of human expertise. We’re proud to celebrate these organizations that are redefining what it means to lead, add business value, and recognize that human ingenuity and artificial intelligence are increasingly inseparable,” said Marydee Ojala, KMWorld Editor-In-Chief.

“We are honored to be included on this list for more than a decade, and we honestly could not agree with Ms. Ojala more,” said Heather Kotula, president and CEO of Access Innovations.

She explained, “Our focus is to ensure our signature, award-winning Data Harmony software suite and all our products help our customers build explainable AI and fully leverage their existing knowledge assets so that they are more valuable for various licensing opportunities.”

Just recently, Kotula, Marjorie Hlava, Access Innovations Chief Science Officer, and Veronica Showers, Vice President of Business Development, published a guest post in The Scholarly Kitchen titled “AI Readiness and the New Value Equation in Scholarly Publishing,”  where they explore how scholarly publishers can unlock new AI-driven revenue opportunities by making their content AI-ready.

“We understand what it takes to prepare content for accurate, robust, trustworthy responses through semantic enrichment – ontologies, relationships, hierarchies and consistent terminology. We help clients build infrastructure that enables new offerings such as AI-ready feeds, APIs, and knowledge services so that they can turn AI readiness into real business value,” she said.

Kotula noted that an effective blending of human expertise, knowledge and insight with AI technology will be increasingly necessary for accuracy and reliability as AI mediates more research discovery, clinical practice and regulatory analysis.
