Vivisimo Introduces Velocity for OEM—Modular Design Simplifies Deployment, Builds Strong Business Value

Velocity for OEM Delivers Competitive Advantages for Third-party Providers and High-Performance Upgrades for Replacing Legacy Search Products

Orlando, Fla. — Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leader in enterprise search, today announced an OEM version of its Velocity Search Platform™—completing extensive engineering and documentation to leverage Velocity’s superior architecture and inherent flexibility into a highly modular design for easy deployment in a variety of markets and applications.

OEM partners often need only a subset of functionality found in an enterprise search platform to enhance their own applications. Velocity™ for OEM provides partners with the option to select only the functionality they need to enhance and augment their own product line. Such flexibility reduces partners’ overall costs and empowers them to drive the future of their own solution.

Velocity is easily embedded in partner applications, maintaining a small footprint due to its modular framework and configurable underlying technology. Velocity’s robust architecture supports granular searches, allows small index size and scales to search terabytes of data. Its position-based indexing differentiates Velocity as the only search application that indexes documents as segments of data, enabling sophisticated manipulation and control.

“The market for OEM is growing. Many partners are looking to replace legacy search products that are of an older technology or possibly being made obsolete,” said Jeff Hornung, Vivisimo’s vice president, strategic alliances. “A fully modular solution such as Velocity for OEM provides software providers, integrators and partners with a rich set of options to quickly update their search or more fully leverage their position in the enterprise by delivering more value to their customers via an enhanced search offering.”

Key features of Velocity OEM are:

  • Modular design—partners need add only the specific function they need, be it clustering, auto-classification, search, federation, and more
  • Superior architecture—Velocity OEM occupies a small footprint in partner applications; efficiently connects various data silos; delivers superior search security
  • Inherently flexible—APIs, XML framework, multiple distribution models
  • Dedicated partner account management and strong technical support

Velocity OEM is applicable for a wide range of vertical markets that require best-in-class search technology and solutions, including the content and document management market; email archiving; eDiscovery; and subscription data services markets.
