IntelSoft Provides Data Management for Supply Chains
September 28, 2011
In the world of supply chains there are several programs a company can choose for their reporting needs. IntelSoft is one such program with an interesting new demo available. Campion PPS, the parent of IntelSoft, repeatedly describes the program as “Easy, Agile and Robust.”
The demo gives a walkthrough of the programming system and the many applications available at both the creation and end result. Live time reporting is just a click away and information can easily be added and deleted from reports and then distributed to the appropriate team members. The systems ease-of-use allows IT departments more time to focus on more important jobs than the drudgery most data management systems require.
Campian’s website describes IntelSoft’s solution as:
Increasingly, more and more detailed supply chain reports has become the norm, as has the need for real time solutions facilitating rapid drill down of information in order to achieve a more visible, efficient, and responsive supply chain structure…Modern BI solutions, such as IntelSoft Style Intelligence, can support these supply chain report needs for greater transparency across organizations and the desire for rapid, more detailed reporting requirements to aid decision making through all levels.
Data management is not limited to businesses dealing with massive amounts of written data to sort through. Companies such as supply chains also lose precious man hours searching and retrieving data. Programs such as IntelSoft are an ideal solution to that loss in productivity. As search and content processing vendors expand from the commodity arena of enterprise search, firms looking for new markets will have to offer benefits not provided by incumbents. Without benefits, pricing may become the way for a search vendor to attack certain vertical markets.

Search Technologies: Competency and a Search Milestone
September 27, 2011
Search Technologies, one of the world’s largest independent provider of search engine expertise and implementation services, has a lot to be proud of this week. In addition to receiving its second Microsoft Gold Digital Competency award, this time for digital marketing, the company has also signed its 100th Fast customer for search engine implementation services and consulting. We learned in Search Technologies Achieves Microsoft Gold Competency in Digital Marketing:
To earn this gold competency, organizations must complete a rigorous set of tests to prove their level of technology expertise, especially in delivering internet solutions on SharePoint 2010, Microsoft Fast Search Server, and related technologies. They must have the right number of Microsoft Certified Professionals, submit customer references and demonstrate their commitment to customer satisfaction by participating in an annual survey.
Search Technologies has a long history with the Fast product dating back to its origins, and it was honored as Fast Search & Transfer’s worldwide Alliance Partner of the Year back in 2006.
We have been monitoring the changes at Microsoft related to search. Our view is that interest in what is now Microsoft’s flagship search product continues to remain strong. Search Technologies has begun more than a dozen new customer engagements thus far in 2011. Congratulations.

MaxxCAT Claws into the Search Appliance Market
September 19, 2011
A news item, “Strengthen Your Enterprise Search with a Highly Optimized Search Appliance from MaxxCAT,” focuses on MaxxCAT, a competitor to Google Search and Thunderstone Search appliances. we learned:
No matter what size or style of business that you have, MaxxCAT can offer a solution for your enterprise search that is easily scalable as your data storage and recovery needs grow. In most cases, upgrading is as simple as adding another appliance to your rack mount.
According to the MaxxCAT website, the Pittsburgh based company was founded in 2007, a relative newcomer to the world of enterprise search. They claim to provide the highest performing search solutions at the lowest price points in the industry. The story asserts:
MaxxCAT’s product line has grown from a single high performance machine, the original SB-250, to a comprehensive line of high availability, high performance, low cost solutions that address some of the leading edge requirements of today’s search industry.
The prices are certainly competitive, and the line-up of offered products is diverse. While not yet the top player in the market, MaxxCAT could certainly move up the ranks as efficient but affordable search solutions are sought in the current sobering economic climate. Beyond Search has a soft spot in its heart for Pittsburgh-based firms. Our founder, Stephen E Arnold, attended Duquesne University while indexing Latin sermons and then he and his partners sold The Point (Top 5% of the Internet) to Lycos more than 15 years ago. Hilly place, however.
