Description:

Black Pearl provides intelligent infrastructure for smart commerce. Black Pearl's flagship product, the Black Pearl Knowledge Broker, lets companies extend their value-added sales practices into the electronic market place. The underlying technology uses intelligent agents distributed across an asynchronous, federated server architecture to read data from existing enterprise data sources and the Internet. Through the application of various predictive models and business rules, the data are elevated into intelligent, context-sensitive recommendations for use in a variety of situations across multiple markets. The Knowledge Broker is geared towards the business user, so business maps, rules and predictive models are created in natural language, and can be changed on-the-fly to keep maintenance costs low and responsiveness high. Black Pearl was founded in 1998 and is located in San Francisco.
