October 08, 2007 - Radio France Internationale chose Sinequa CS, the research & navigation solution for the new version of its news portal
Paris, London - October 8th, 07 – With 44 million listeners around the world, Radio France International contributes to the diffusion of the French culture by creating and broadcasting radio shows and multimedia contents to foreign audiences and French expatriates. This mission is carried through 48 hours of daily audio programs in 20 languages broadcasted around the world in addition of a dedicated internet 24h/24 news portal.
For this News Portal, made of 30 different Websites, RFI looked for a way to capitalize on its huge content investment available in 20 languages.
The goal of RFI was to connect users from any access point to all contents available on the Portal: biographies, music, services, sport news, etc.
The solution had to meet the following criteria:
- Packaged Software
- Multi/cross-languages support
- Multimedia support
- Scalable and reliable
- Seamless integration with legacy applications
- Strong turn-key semantic and linguistic features including : Concepts generation and dynamic filtering, Rich and intuitive Navigation, Automatic Correlation through entity extraction
“We chose Sinequa for the completeness of their offer and in particular their linguistics and semantics features, a must-have for a site available in 20 different languages. “speech-to-text” indexing was also key for us. Moreover, the scalable Grid architecture which can deal with huge increase of query load was the definitive argument” comments Olivier Bourrassé RFI’s Web IT project Leader.
