ASG-ViewDirect® E-mail Manager Solution
Flexibility and Scalability Cited as Key Deciding Factors in Selecting Velocity for OEM
Pittsburgh, PA — Until recently, companies were required to archive emails only to maintain regulatory compliance. But updated regulations, such as the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, now mandate that organizations be able to find and produce those emails on demand. To help its customers comply with these regulations, ASG Software Solutions has chosen to embed the Vivisimo Velocity Search Platform for OEM into its ASG-ViewDirect® E-mail Manager, which enables organizations to search, view, retain and expire corporate e-mails, along with other enterprise content.
ASG, the originator of ASG's Business Service Portfolio™ (BSP™) and a worldwide leader in business solutions for global enterprises, chose Vivisimo after a lengthy evaluation of search providers. Vivisimo’s flexibility to support various operating systems, its exceptional scalability and the richness of its features and integration options—including the use of standard XML based interfaces—were key deciding factors for ASG.
In the future, ASG will also offer Velocity for OEM as an option for other solutions, such as ASG-Automation Center™, ASG-metaGlossary™, ASG-ViewDirect® Repository, ASG-Total Content Integrator™ (ASG-TCI™) and ASG-Enterprise Records Manager.
“Based on our thorough evaluation of enterprise search offerings, it was clear that Vivisimo presented us with a ‘win-win’ business scenario. We were impressed with their track record for search innovation, accuracy and scalability,” said Miguel Rodriguez, Senior Product Manager, ASG. “Vivisimo can meet the needs of even our largest customers. We’re confident that Vivisimo’s OEM-friendly model will enable us to grow our business, open up significant revenue streams, and enhance new products for our customers to add value to their enterprise information.”
Built for scalability with rich features and functionalities, Velocity for OEM enables organizations to search for and retrieve information across tremendous amounts of data stored in disparate archiving, metadata and content management systems. By embedding Velocity in specific ASG solutions, organizations can transform and optimize existing IT investments—from standard information management functions to knowledge resources for discovery and compliance efforts.
“Because of changes in the law, we are nearing an inflection point in the archive and storage market. To increase the value of their offerings, smart companies like ASG are being proactive in providing reliable search as part of their solutions,” said John M. Kealey, CEO of Vivisimo. “We’re excited and honored to be part of ASG’s impressive product line.”
