5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The UIMA project at IBM has encouraged many groups in six of the Research division's labs to understand and adopt the UIMA architecture as a common conceptual foundation for classifying, describing, developing and combining HLT components in aggregate applications that integrate search and analytical functions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> While our measurements are only just beginning, the adoption of UIMA has clearly improved knowledge transfer throughout the organization. Implementations of the architecture are advancing and are beginning to demonstrate that HLT components developed within Research can be quickly combined to explore hybrid approaches as well as to rapidly transfer results into IBM product and service offerings.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> IBM product groups are encouraged by Research's effort and are committed to leverage UIMA as a vehicle to embed HLT components. They are realizing the benefits of having Research adopt a standard architectural approach that does not constrain algorithm invention while allowing for a wide variety of system deployment options. Product and service groups are seeing an easier path to combine, integrate and deliver these technologies into information integration, data mining, knowledge management and search-related products and services.</Paragraph>
