CHICAGO — JUNE 2, 2004 — Online researchers can spend hours researching business executives, surfing dozens of Web sites to piece together information from biographies, employment histories and mentions in the news. Now, thanks to HighBeam Executives, launched today by HighBeam™ Research, LLC (www.highbeam.com), researchers can quickly and conveniently access — for free — information on more than 20 million business executives, managers and employees from more than one million organizations (public and private companies and non-profit organizations).
HighBeam Research operates an online research engine for individuals that fills the gap between free search engines and high-end information services.
HighBeam Executives, available at www.highbeam.com/executives, provides access to a database of profiles of business executives created by Eliyon Technologies Corporation (www.eliyon.com). Eliyon's technology continuously crawls millions of Web sites, press releases, electronic news sources, SEC filings and other online sources and uses natural-language processing to create individual profiles.
On HighBeam Executives, visitors can search the Eliyon database by an individual's name or a combination of an individual¿s name and company name. HighBeam Basic Members (who register for free) can view profiles, which may include current place of employment, employment history, education, club memberships, board seats and contact information.
Each profile on the new HighBeam Executives includes results from HighBeam eLibrary, so customers can find mentions of the business executive they are researching in an archive of 28 million documents from 2,700 sources including newspapers; leading business, consumer and industry magazines and journals; transcripts; images; and reference sources.
In addition, HighBeam Research Members can use many of the popular research tools available on HighBeam Research while researching business executives, such as saving searches and profiles and exporting profiles and articles to Microsoft Word. HighBeam Research also offers the ability to search the Internet for individuals using HighBeam Web -- a customizable meta-search tool of the open Web.
Patrick Spain, chairman and CEO of HighBeam Research, said, "When online researchers need to look up individuals — whether it be a potential business partner, vendor, competitor, former colleague, employer or a figure they are writing about — they need more than the mass of links found on most search engines. Our customers need quick and easy access to well-organized profiles of people at all levels of business and research tools to organize and deliver their answers. We are pleased to have teamed with Eliyon Technologies to deliver this new and exciting research capability to the online research community."
Spain added, "I use HighBeam Executives before every meeting with a new business partner."
Jonathan Stern, president and CEO of Eliyon Technologies, said, "Extending the reach of Eliyon's next generation search technology to a wider audience is a key benefit of this agreement. We are excited about working with HighBeam Research and are pleased to have the opportunity to provide HighBeam Research members with access to our deep source of data on business people."
