Vivisimo: ramping Up Velocity

摘要

A year after Vivisimo, Inc. introduced Velocity Search Platform 6.0, the company is now back on track with Velocity 7.0, the latest version of its flagship enterprise search platform. This version of Velocity puts search control back into the hands of the users, according to Rebecca Thompson, vice president of marketing. "Users remain frustrated that they cannot find what they need inside their enterprise," she says. "One of the main reasons why I can't find data is the inability of the machine to know what I'm looking for," she says. That's one of the reasons Vivisimo added conceptual search. She cites a trio of components that makes this version stand out. Its discovery function lets "users access and explore the universe of content, even unstructured content, and how to make sense of it in new and novel ways." Its presentation provides "a better understanding of both explicit and implicit data that can be personalized according to the user," she says. Arid its collaboration keeps information in one interface that can be shared with the group through social tagging, book-marking, and more.
