NetDocuments(R) Embeds FAST(R) Search Engine in Its Market Leading SaaS Content Management Service
OREM, UT--(Marketwire - March 18, 2008) - NetDocuments, a leading Software-as-a-Service
(SaaS) document, email and records management service provider, announced
today that it has released its new searching engine, NDSearch™, based on
Fast Search & Transfer™ (OSEAX: FAST.OL) (FAST™), the leading global
provider of search technologies, recently announced to be acquired by
Microsoft Corp.
NDSearch is a scalable, reliable, and feature-rich enterprise index and
retrieval platform, providing searching technology for a single repository
of documents, images, emails, attachments, and digital records. NDSearch
will be deployed in a SaaS model, where all maintenance, updates and
optimization will be handled by NetDocuments and deployed in a redundant
and highly available infrastructure across two datacenters for business
continuity.
"While many organizations today are struggling to integrate an enterprise
search engine into each of their separate electronic repositories (DM,
email archival, records management, and KM), the NetDocuments Service now
includes a powerful enterprise search service against a single repository
for all digital content," said Alvin Tedjamulia, Chief Technology Officer
for NetDocuments. "NDSearch, powered by FAST, reflects our continuous
commitment to providing, simultaneously, simplicity and power to our users.
We subscribe to the premise that search will become a central technology to
connect users with information."
FAST preserves NetDocuments' secure searching technology which enforces
access control, ethical walls, while offering such enhanced functionality
as relevancy ranking, proximity and phrase searching, linguistics and
lemmatization, data classification, topic and entity extraction. Users
will not only be able to quickly retrieve documents, but will also be able
to analyze the people, companies, locations, dates, and concepts associated
with matters and projects offering a truly discovery-class search
technology.
NDSearch helps NetDocuments users better comprehend the key facts
associated with a set of documents and to infer "cause and effect"
relationships. The goal is to provide advanced tools for NetDocuments
customers to better serve their own customers and to gain significant
efficiencies in the management of their internal intellectual property.
