Temis, founded in Paris in 2000, specialized in text analytics and semantic content enrichment software before its acquisition. The company operated as a developer of cloud-based solutions designed to extract structured, actionable information from large volumes of unstructured data. Its core business involved providing these advanced text mining technologies to large corporations and professional publishers, enabling them to intelligently manage, analyze, and leverage their information assets. The business model was centered on licensing its proprietary software platform and associated services to these enterprise clients.
The company's flagship product was the Luxid® platform. This software suite was engineered to perform sophisticated information extraction, using semantic analysis to enrich content with domain-specific metadata. Its primary benefit was transforming raw text from sources like scientific papers, patents, or business reports into organized knowledge. This capability was particularly valuable for applications in competitive intelligence, scientific research, and business intelligence. One of the platform's key features was its use of "Skill Cartridges™," which were specialized modules tailored for specific industries like life sciences, biology, and chemistry, allowing for more precise and relevant data extraction.
Temis served a high-profile client base across multiple sectors, including Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, BNP Paribas, Total, and Thomson Reuters. In September 2015, the Italian semantic technology company Expert System (now operating as expert.ai) acquired Temis for an enterprise value of approximately €12 million, or about $15 million. The acquisition was a strategic move to combine Temis's Luxid® platform with Expert System's Cogito® technology, creating a larger entity in the cognitive computing and semantic technology market. Following the integration, Temis S.A. was rebranded as Expert System France S.A., with co-founder Gilles Pouzenc appointed as its CEO.
