Yahoo has partnered with enterprise software company Verity to release an enterprise web search application.
The first visible product out of this partnership, Verity Enterprise Web Search, is a unique application available at no cost to Verity’s enterprise customers that can — with a single query — simultaneously search the high- value information in internal repositories as well as all of the relevant Web content indexed by Yahoo! Search. The product allows enterprise customers to easily and affordably extend the reach of their existing Verity K2 Enterprise and Verity Ultraseek-powered search applications to the Internet and significantly reduces the time employees spend finding information. Highlights of the product include:
— Search results from internal content repositories and the Web are merged and ranked for relevance, eliminating the need to submit multiple queries to internal sources and public search engines, then manually assimilating results to put the information into perspective;
— Search results can be examined in multiple views by relevance, category, or by content source for more effective searching;
— Web-based content can optionally be dynamically classified into existing corporate taxonomies; and,
— Customers can expand external content access with optional plug-ins to subscription-based information providers.
“Verity, as the recognized leader in intellectual capital management, understands Web content can often be a useful and valuable resource to an organization, in addition to the enterprise content stored behind the firewall in multiple file formats and repositories,” said Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity’s president and chief executive officer. “Our partnership with Yahoo! enables us to offer a unique, industry-first integration of the best of enterprise search and the best of the Web to our global enterprise customers. Verity Enterprise Web Search allows end-users to make one query from their desktops and view results from both internal sources and Yahoo!-Search, maximizing users’ ability to quickly leverage all of the available intellectual capital.”
“Search technology continues to evolve, providing users with even more powerful research tools, and as content across the Web becomes richer, we anticipate that the demand for integrated business search solutions will continue to grow,” said Tim Cadogan, vice president of Yahoo! Search. “We are pleased to be working with Verity to integrate our proprietary search technology with their enterprise products to create a seamless search experience to satisfy the research needs of people at work.”
