Vivisimo Powers Mobile Enterprise Search
Vivisimo Velocity for Mobile Searches Corporate Intranets, Email and Other Databases from Smartphones
Pittsburgh, PA—Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of search software and expertise, today announced a mobile solution for workers to access and search corporate intranets, email and other applications from mobile devices. Vivisimo Velocity for Mobile will be available as an extension to the Velocity enterprise search platform, an end-to-end solution that allows searching on desktop, internal repositories, and external content from a single search box.
The increasing reliance on accessing corporate information from the road has led to the growth of Smartphone usage and appropriate software to connect to data sources. Corporate personnel that access email or intranets while away from their desks have specific needs that must be met quickly and efficiently. Velocity for Mobile optimizes search results for mobile environments and mirrors the key end-user features of Velocity Enterprise, such as clustered results and data call-outs for quick referencing. Users are presented with relevant results and effective navigation to find information quickly by category, topic or repository.
"Search habits and needs change when accessing information on a mobile device, but the fundamentals of a good search experience should remain the same," said Jerome Pesenti, chief scientist, Vivisimo. "Even with the limited screen space and computing capacity of devices, our mobile search solution can still identify and present the right piece of data to help our customers connect back to the information needed to perform effectively."
Velocity for Mobile functions in all popular mobile OS environments and connects to the Velocity enterprise search platform. Other features include:
- Information relevancy weighted to match users' typical workflow or line of business
- Results presented with shorter snippets and precise titles for each document, file or piece of data
- Crawling and indexing special collections such as customer data, support logs, and contract databases to ensure mission-critical data is located above the main result set
- Clicked results displayed as a cached version of the data to eliminate the need to download additional browsing software
Velocity for Mobile is generally available and requires little configuration to transform the enterprise deployment of Velocity into a mobile ready solution. Web tools allow for easy adjustments on relevancy of results and creation of new mobile call outs. The application complies with pre-existing corporate security settings; and the requirement for VPN access to corporate data ensures maximum security.
