29 October 2004Vivisimo Introduces Velocity for the EnterpriseRapid-Deployment, Highly Customizable Solution Combines Search, Metasearch, and Dynamic Clustering of Corporate ContentPittsburgh, PA—
Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), the leading provider of intelligent clustering, search and meta-search software for organizing search results, today announced Vivisimo Velocity™, the industry's first rapid-deployment, highly customizable enterprise software that combines dynamic clustering, search and meta-search into one solution. Velocity builds on Vivisimo's acclaimed Clustering Engine to deliver a better search experience and increased productivity for business users and a uniquely powerful IT architecture with unmatched flexibility and speed in crawling internal and external content.
Velocity is a comprehensive search solution that lets enterprise customers customize their crawling instead of "re-customizing" their content to fit the arbitrary requirements of other search solutions. Velocity eliminates the need to re-format content or pre-define taxonomies, leading to an unprecedented speed and flexibility in the deployment of an information retrieval solution that offers organized search results. Velocity is designed for applications that need to crawl up to one million documents and meta-search an arbitrary number of other search engines or documents.
"Vivisimo's clustering provides a faster path to a more comprehensive answer," said Scott Purdon, COO of BoardReader. "Users can navigate results by themes and find more information specific to their query, resulting in greater productivity and better-informed decisions. Beyond the obvious user benefits, Velocity also delivers rapid time to deployment and low total cost of ownership, making it the best enterprise search option on the market."
"Information overload is not a problem unique only to users of the Web," said Sue Feldman, vice president at IDC Research. "Many organizations have reached the point where searching corporate information returns an avalanche of results thereby overwhelming the user with possible answers to their query. Clustering helps to alleviate the problem of information overload by providing a navigable and easy way for users to find a complete answer."
"Vivisimo has introduced the Velocity integrated search solution to serve the needs of small-to mid-sized applications within companies of all sizes," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO of Vivisimo. "We are stressing speed, flexibility, and the quality of the end-user experience. Vivisimo will continue to offer its Clustering Engine and Content Integrator to overlay other search infrastructures, whether pre-existing or of a scale that is beyond the 1 million target of the Velocity product."
