“Unleashing Enterprise Intelligence”

Sid Probstein, CTO of Keeeb Inc. has a background that is both business and technically oriented. He learned to program on a TRS-80 with a cassette tape for storage, and holds an MBA from Northeastern University. As a result, he’s able to help bridge the gaps between business goals and technical possibilities.

“Keeeb fuels your digital transformation by empowering every individual to both access and amplify the collective intelligence of the enterprise.​”

He started his career in strategic marketing at a diversified financial services company. It gave him a great appreciation for the importance of data, and in particular the value of unifying it to perform new analysis. After pioneering the use of search technology to access so-called structured data at FAST Search & Transfer, he co-founded Attivio, an enterprise-grade cognitive search platform capable of fusing data from most any source, and responding to most any type of query. Sid worked with customers to achieve a variety of remarkable results using the platform – from UBS’ award-winning NEO electronic trading platform, to Cisco’s Sales Connect application, and some of the largest and most complex intranets in the world. Sid also takes time to support fellow entrepreneurs, having a long history of volunteering as a startup advisor.

As Keeeb’s CTO, he has driven the evolution of the Keeeb platform envisioned by founder Konrad Gulla. This evolution includes the creation of a powerful AI module that navigates relevant knowledge from across sources to users and automates processes of gathering, classifying, and disseminating research. At Keeeb, Sid works directly with early adopters of the platform including leading companies who have selected Keeeb because they feel the pains of disjointed people, processes, and technology and see the enormous potential to drive innovation and business growth by connecting knowledge to people and people to each other.

Keeeb‘s Enterprise Intelligence Platform unleashes enterprise intelligence by offering a plethora of benefits from enhancing employee performance to revolutionizing digital engagement. As most analysts or researchers in the enterprise state – it can be a “difficult and lonely job”. It often feels like one is searching for a few points of light in a vast, dark space. The Keeeb Enterprise Intelligence Platform (KEIP) illuminates the collective intelligence of the enterprise by making it easy to:

• Discover information across sources – public, private, paid and personal – with one search,

• Collect and annotate what they discover,

• Discover what others have collected – and maybe what they thought about it

When AI supports this powerful loop, it automates processes of finding, gathering, and sharing information so people can focus on the critical tasks of analyzing, synthesizing, and innovating. Keeeb alleviates the persistent struggle to know who to ask or where to look – and does so without copying data to a new index. This empowers people to solve business challenges, improve decisions, and effectively respond to emerging threats and opportunities.

With Keeeb, organizations can transform a simple Google search into a complex universal search that yields not only public knowledge, but private, professional, and people knowledge using the platform. “It can be done in a few days, if the organization is willing. IT can deploy the Keeeb platform overnight; thereafter, users will automatically see results from Google and the other three P’s of data (private, professional and personal),” explains Sid. “They can further collect and share anything they find – thus starting the essential collaboration that turns data into usable insight.” For companies, departments and employees who look across a broad spectrum of data, and turn it into insight for a living, KEIP is a game changer.

According to Sid, knowledge is messy: “rarely a single document that can be shared”. It might include bits of many documents – paragraphs, images, tables, comments – along with context like where the information came from, who might need to validate it, who might disagree with it, what the curator thought, etc. Keeeb’s sophisticated, enterprise grade platform enlists every employee as a knowledge manager by making it easy and efficient to collect, annotate and share knowledge. And then, collaborate. Being a cloud-native platform built on a microservice architecture, the platform incorporates a range of technologies including document analysis, a search broker, anonymization/pseudonymization, data lake, analytics & dashboards, topic and other recommendation engines – among other things. Some of the components used to create Keeeb include Python/Django/Nginx/RabbitMQ/Celery, SciKit, Apache Beam, Kafka and Spark. IE
