playence offers a Web-based solution that allows to users to work with multimedia assets just like they currently do with textual documents. Our software follows a modular and easy to integrate approach based on a service architecture. It typically ships as a software appliance that runs in the data center of the customer or in the Amazon cloud.
 
playence’s products are more than an automatic knowledge extraction and automatic annotation tool or a contextual search and browsing engine, that covers all necessary key concepts to achieve the objective. At the same time, playence provides sophisticated cross-language query and asset retrieval, predictive and faceted search, and probabilistic tag clouds for advanced asset retrieval and filtering.
 
playence currently offers two products, – playence prose and playence media –, offering incremental functionality, as depicted in the figure.
