ALL THE DATA THAT FIT YOUR PROFILEINTRANETS ARE GREAT for giving employees access to lots of company information. But sometimes, there's just too much to cope with. So CompassWare Development Inc. has come out with InfoMagnet, a program designed to reduce information overload. Running on a server computer, the program keeps a profile of all users, indicating what subjects they're interested in. Then, InfoMagnet keeps its eye on the intranet's various information sources--Internet Web servers, repositories of Lotus Notes documents, and news wires entering from outside the company. Each time an item of information shows up that seems to fit an employee's profile, the system notifies the person about where to look. What's more, users can enter English-based queries and can ask InfoMagnet to search multiple sources for information. It will not only run the search but also update their profile for future reference. Pricing starts at $4,995 per server and $100 per user.
