Groxis, the leading producer of search visualization technologies and developer
of the Grokker Enterprise Search Management (ESM) application, announced today
that it has teamed with Fast Search & Transfer™ (FAST™) to integrate its
visual search tools with FAST’s enterprise search solutions aimed at corporate
researchers.
As a member of the FAST X10 Partner Program, Groxis will be positioned to provide new and existing FAST customers the ability to enhance their enterprise search configuration with a new breed of visual search tools designed to accelerate information discovery and actionable research from FAST search results. Additionally, Groxis can now provide its customers with best-of-breed enterprise search that can be seamlessly integrated with the Grokker ESM platform.
The solution federates indexed enterprise data from FAST Enterprise Search Platform
(FAST ESP™) with commercial and premium information sources. Grokker adds value
and utility to FAST ESP with a powerful tool set that includes extensive visual
exploration and analysis of search results, and intuitive collaborative tools
that allow workers to share and export research results in a variety of formats
or email results sets within the enterprise.
Groxis will demonstrate Grokker ESM with the FAST enterprise search at FASTforward
'06, FAST’s Business and Technology Conference from February 1st through 3rd
in Miami, Florida.
“FAST is recognized as one of the most innovative, agile and effective enterprise
search providers in the market,” said R.J. Pittman, President and CEO of Groxis.
“FAST ESP is an extremely powerful enterprise search platform, and our technology
is ideally suited to take full advantage of FAST’s capabilities, particularly
in research-oriented enterprises.”
“Grokker offers a unique and visually immersive approach to helping users
find more of what they are looking for with an enterprise search solution. It
is a research tool and a clear value-add that many of our customers could leverage,”
said FAST vice president Rob Lancaster. “We welcome Groxis to the FAST
X10 Partner
Program, and look forward to working with the Groxis team.”
