Vivisimo Takes Enterprise Search 2.0 on the Road

Company is First-to-Market with Web 2.0 Functionality for Enterprise Search Platform

Pittsburgh, PA—Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of enterprise search software and expertise, today announced its "Enterprise Search 2.0" seminar schedule for October 17th through November 15th. Hosted by Vivisimo and featuring industry expert Lynda Moulton of Gilbane Group, the seminars will provide attendees an inside perspective on how enterprise search is evolving from a productivity-enhancing application to an engine of innovation.

It's no secret that enterprise search increases worker productivity by saving valuable time in finding information with its single point of access via a search interface to all of an organization's disparate content. But once users can find information quickly and easily, what are they able to do with it? Beyond reading and digesting or re-purposing the content for their own use, how can they take action on information in such a way that the search results themselves can be used to collaborate and communicate with others in the organization? Attendees will get answers to all these questions plus a complementary copy of Moulton's report, "Using Social Search to Drive Innovation through Collaboration."

"Search is just the beginning of the collaborative experience," said Lynda Moulton, lead analyst, Gilbane Group. "In these seminars, we'll explore how search can be used to foster innovation, increase efficiency, and accelerate the discovery of information across the enterprise."

In keeping up with the latest thinking in enterprise search, Vivisimo will show attendees how to best leverage Vivisimo's recently unveiled Velocity 6.0 Enterprise Search Platform to:

  • Tap into and make use of the vast amount of human knowledge within your organization about the information accessed by search.
  • Go beyond just finding information to actually freeing it from the confines of applications.
  • Gain valuable insight into the collective intelligence of the organization.
