The Velocity Search Platform can be up and running anywhere from days to weeks, depending upon organizational requirements. Many software providers talk about ease of deployment — but few can live up to their words. From the ground up, Velocity is built to enable quick deployment and simplicity of both initial configuration and ongoing management. A modern, service-oriented architecture, web-based administration tool and a template-based design make rapid installation and integration a reality. In addition, Vivisimo has a team of seasoned search experts on-hand to advise and transfer knowledge throughout the deployment process and a proven track record of enabling customer success. Vivisimo truly understands search and incorporates the right mix of technology, people and processes in order to ensure customer success.

Modern Architecture

The Velocity web administration tool is built on a modern architecture and takes advantage of XML and XSL standards. By using a web-based interface, administers can perform complex configurations through simple point-and-click versus heavy API calls. Through web services and SOA protocols, Velocity can easily pull data from existing applications, making search the universal way to access information among disparate systems within an enterprise.

Velocity provides a variety of templates that simplify solution configuration and deployment. These include pre-built connectors, canned reports, display templates and more. For each 'out-of-the' box feature, Vivisimo has created an easily adaptable template to create custom configurations. This gives the administrator the power to configure features and functionality tailored to their own information environment.

Search Expertise

Vivisimo's team of search experts have worked with organizations around the world to understand their information needs and challenges and to deploy solutions that solve real-life business challenges. The knowledge transfer Vivisimo provides during the installation process and in on-site or classroom training sessions ensures that customers not only get up and running quickly, but also can easily maintain their enterprise search solution long after initial deployment.

Vivisimo has proven repeatedly that it can get customers deployed quickly. USA.gov, which was a complete overhaul of the site's search as well a new user interface design, was completed within three months. Organon, a pharmaceutical company in the Netherlands, successful deployed Velocity to its 11,000 employees in ten weeks. And Tyco Electronics fully implemented and deployed their intranet search, reaching users around the globe, within a single month's time.
