SciBite launches SaaS versions of its semantic technology products

New cloud-based access to CENtree ontology management and TERMite text analysis solutions allows use outside of the traditional workplace and for small businesses.

Cambridge, UK June 30, 2021 – SciBite, an Elsevier company and award-winning semantic technology company, has today unveiled its new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) version of TERMite, SciBite’s named entity recognition engine, and its CENtree™ ontology management system. Researchers can use the new cloud-hosted TERMite and CENtree as part of their digital workplace, offering greater flexibility to enable them to work from multiple locations and settings.

Removing the need for customers to purchase, maintain and administer both hardware and software, SaaS streamlines the deployment of SciBite tooling. Companies seeking SciBite solutions benefit from faster onboarding and avoid the infrastructure burden. Automated upgrade management guarantees that customers always benefit from the latest product version.

“The last 18 months have shown the immeasurable value that scientific research has to offer. Through global collaboration and data sharing, breakthroughs have been achieved in record time. For this speed of innovation to continue, it is crucial that the right tools and data are widely accessible,” said Lee Harland, Chief Scientific Officer at SciBite. “SciBite is rapidly growing, serving customers in more regions and markets than ever before. This is the perfect time for us to take the next step and deliver our services from the cloud, widening access to more markets and to non-traditional workplaces.”

SciBite uses Elsevier’s well established cloud hosting tooling and processes, supported by a dedicated SciBite-Elsevier IT team, who proactively track and maintain this service.

The SaaS offering provides continuous monitoring to ensure maximal uptime as well as following the Elsevier 10-step security policy, providing a trusted and secure environment for its hosted solutions.

With the new SaaS versions of TERMite and CENtree, customers will see productivity exponentially increase through:

• Less procurement time, with lower overall and bundled hardware, maintenance, and administration costs
• Rapid implementation of products once purchased, with seamless upgrades
• Flexible access to a secure environment from multiple locations and settings

Customer-specific needs can still be addressed in consultation with SciBite’s Professional Services team. In-depth, world class technical support is provided by SciBite’s team of subject specific and technology experts.

The new SaaS version of SciBite will be available from the 30^th June. Learn more by visiting the SciBite FAQ.
