Company Overview
At Vivisimo we are passionate about Information Optimization. We have seen organizations that embrace Information Optimization solve critical business challenges to drive greater revenue, improve business processes and reduce risk associated with their information. As such, we are constantly pursuing and delivering innovation in information access and discovery technology that gives our clients information connectivity and contextual intelligence which then enable organizational capabilities.
Vivisimo’s heritage is in the information access space. Our founders first developed new ways to categorize search results as a research project at Carnegie Mellon University's computer science department. After years of product development and further innovations, Vivisimo today offers Velocity—an Information Optimization platform that unifies access to secure business repositories, presents relevant information with an unmatched user experience, and enables knowledge sharing across an enterprise. Velocity is transforming wide selections of corporate information into tangible organizational intelligence thus making Information Optimization a reality for enterprises and government clients.
Velocity is a quick-to-implement solution that finds, extracts and delivers relevant information no matter what format it is in or where it resides. Use its web console to configure access to diverse document, email, database, and web page repositories, and import their access rights so that information workers get just what they're authorized to see and nothing more. Use the console to spotlight high-value information, package repositories into search tabs, enable clustered results by topic or metadata, enliven the information presented with embedded images, and more, all without custom programming—just configuration.
Building on its other innovations, Vivisimo was first to offer Information Optimization capabilities throughout the organization in social search, which lets enterprise users share their knowledge with coworkers by tagging, ranking, and annotating search results.
Vivisimo provides expert professional services, acknowledging that Information Optimization in complex corporate environments benefits from the shared experience of similar deployments elsewhere. Due to its modern service-oriented and XML-based design, Velocity is typically deployed in weeks, not in months or years as with legacy platforms that were previously architected.
Vivisimo's installations are a model of high-quality Information Optimization capabilities. Try BUPA or the National Library of Medicine. Read our case studies.

WHAT'S A VIVISIMO?
Vivisimo means lively, bright, or clever in Spanish. Vivisimo's founders picked the name to express their vision of optimizing and giving life to your information. They wanted to enliven the tedious process of cycling through siloed data and wading through masses of unorganized search results.
