In order to achieve high satisfaction from both administrators and users of search technology, a search solution must provide an excellent experience for the end-user, have a technology underpinning that can handle the scope, scale and security requirements inherent in complex environments and be relatively easy and fast to deploy. These three equally important facets are components of the Vivísimo "search done right" approach, demonstrated by the Vivísimo Velocity Search Platform.
The Velocity Platform—Search Done Right
User Experience
The Velocity search interface is simple, uncluttered, and easy to use. But even better are Velocity's search results. Instead of returning just the first ten results of hundreds or thousands on the search results page, it organizes search results visually to give users the big picture for a faster, more thorough exploration of search results. Simple, yet powerful controls such as clusters (provided by the Velocity Clustering Engine) and sliders put users in command of their own search experience. In one quick glance, users can see the entire range of search results organized for easy drill-down and navigation that zeroes in on what they are searching for and helps weed out irrelevant information.
Flexible Technology, Enterprise Control
The Velocity Search Engine can find, extract and index content no matter what format it is in or where it resides. Administrators have control over what content is indexed and how it is weighted. Administrators decide what content is both applicable and permitted for a given group of users—down to a within-the-document or field level. And administrators have access to a library of pre-built connectors in order to index content and data from common data repositories such as Documentum, SharePoint, Exchange, Lotus Notes, Oracle and Legato, among others. In addition, content from third-party feeds and subscriptions can be added via the Velocity Content Integrator. All of this functionality is managed from a web-based administrative interface that is as intuitive and easy to navigate for administrators as the search interface is for users.
Rapid Deployment
The Velocity Search Platform can be up and running anywhere from days to weeks, depending upon organizational requirements. First, there is no need to make changes to any content. Second, there is no need to build a taxonomy in order to get relevant and organized search results. Finally, Velocity was built on the latest-generation of service-oriented architecture technologies, which makes installation and integration that much easier.
