More about Expert System:

Expert System develops software that understands the meaning of written language. Based upon a knowledge graph and patented technology that employs millions of definitions, concepts and relationships, our software applications read and understand multiple languages the way people do, with the speed and precision required to discern, manage and utilize large volume of strategic information.

Expert System was born out of a dream shared by three university colleagues who were determined to prove that great software could be created in Italy. After licensing our early technology to Microsoft, all attention and resources were dedicated to developing software that could understand the meaning and context of language. This effort produced one of the first semantic analysis platforms, and led to our patented Cogito technology.

In 2014, Expert System completed a successful public offering and now provides an ever-increasing number of applications in multiple languages to many of the largest and most admired companies and government agencies throughout Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. Our focus now is predicated upon developing and delivering new and enhanced capabilities for business and government, providing outstanding service to our customers, and expanding our global presence and infrastructure.
