Frederick, Maryland - (The Hosting News) - January 12, 2009 - The Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI) and NominoData LLC firms, have formed a partnership, in order to provide improved entity recognition, to support VAI's VisuaLinks and DIG users.

Al Macdonald, NominoData CEO noted, ''NominoData is very excited to announce our partnership with VAI. CheckForNames will allow VAI to improve entity recognition as well as enhance data on an entity based on just a name. With VAI's extensive customer base and partner program, the partnership will be a great opportunity for NominoData to expand our sales network in domestic, international, and government markets. CheckForNames brings functionality to VAI and its customers that was not available at this price point before.''

The partnership is formed with an eye toward homeland security and law enforcement sectors in combating financial crimes, terrorism, and fraud by incorporating NominoData's CheckForNames database into their VisuaLinks and DIG technology suites.

The integration will enable more accurate name variation searches, better disambiguation processes, and a more precise representation and resolution of the data.

Chris Westphal, CEO of Visual Analytics Inc. added, ''Our VisuaLinks and DIG technologies already represent some of the most powerful analytical and information sharing capabilities in the marketplace. Incorporating the NominoData database further expands our ability to quickly identify name variations, in multiple languages, and provide gender and cultural name classifications, which is critical for entity resolution. The combined offering, due out in version 6 of the product line, provides our user community a more complete solution to address their critical analytical requirements. We are definitely pleased that NominoData has become our newest technology partner.''
