Vivisimo Selected as Finalist for KMWorld Promise Awards
Pittsburgh, PA — Vivisimo, a leader in enterprise search, today announced that Procter & Gamble has been selected as a finalist to the KMWorld Reality award for its successful implementation of the award-winning Velocity Enterprise Search Platform. Vivisimo was named finalist for the KMWorld Promise Award.
With key initiatives focused around improving information access and findability, P&G was able to successfully meet their goals by deploying Vivisimo’s Velocity Enterprise Search Platform. Through Velocity, P&G users can search across all key knowledge repositories and locate experts within their organization for increased collaboration and knowledge sharing.
“Velocity has empowered P&G users to find the documents they need, the people they should talk to, and the places to look more efficiently than before,” said Bud Miyahara, Section Manager, P&G. “This reduces the time spent searching for information, increases the time to make productive connections, and enables quicker action.”
Coinciding with the KMWorld Reality award, which recognizes an organization in which knowledge management is a positive reality, Vivisimo was named a finalist for the KMWorld Promise award. The KM Promise award recognizes organizations that best deliver on their promise to provide customers with innovative technology solutions for implementing and integrating knowledge management practices into their business processes.
“From promise to reality, I take great pride and satisfaction that Vivisimo is making good on its commitment to its customers,” said John Kealey, CEO of Vivisimo. “Velocity was the means to achieving very specific goals at P&G, which has resulted in increased access to information and knowledge sharing for its users.”
The recognition as finalists for the KMWorld Promise awards follow the company’s recent placement in the leaders quadrant of Gartner’s Information Access Technology Magic Quadrant report. The evaluation was based on Vivisimo’s “Completeness of Vision” and its “Ability to Execute.” Additionally, Vivisimo’s Velocity Enterprise Search Platform was recently named “Trend-Setting Product of 2009” by KMWorld Magazine for the fifth year in a row.
