Search Musical Chairs

November 1, 2010

“Search” has acquired renewed importance in today’s enterprise. Acknowledging this, even BA-Insight, an enterprise information access solution provider, has searched an important leader for its new search engine optimizer. The TMCnet.com article “Former Microsoft and FAST Enterprise Search Expert Jeff Fried Joins BA-Insight as CTO,” recounts how the professional expertise and experience of the new development leader will benefit BA-Insight’s Longitude products for SharePoint Search and FAST Search.

The article enumerates the various positions held by Jeff Fried in different companies including Lingo Motors, FAST Search and Transfer, and Microsoft, “where he served as core product manager for FAST Search for SharePoint and then technical product manager for all Microsoft enterprise search products.” Banking on Jeff’s versatility, depth of knowledge of FAST and SharePoint, and a common passion to build search-based applications, the article expresses this development as “outstanding integration between BA-Insight’s Longitude and SharePoint.” It seems like a musical chair saga to us, but we hope BA-Insight is the last chair where Jeff can play first violin.
