What Does OmniFind 9 Cost?
June 20, 2011
Good question. We fielded this one a week or so ago. The answer was surprisingly difficult to find. We did get the info, and we wanted to pass along an item form 2010 which we wanted to document.
Cnet Japan reported “IBM Japan, Ltd., Announcing Search Software Which Mounts Both Functions ‘Reproducibility’ and ‘Comprehensiveness.’” In an article which describes the advances in this version of OmniFind, what caught our attention was the section on price. As translated via Google Translator:
“IBM OmniFind V9.1 fee is large for ‘IBM OmniFind Enterprise Edition V9.1’ is 716 million yen (excluding tax, 100PVU per case) per division that can start small ‘IBM OmniFind Enterprise Starter Edition V9.1’ is 40,000,491 yen (excluding tax, 100PVU per case, up to 200PVU).”
40 million yen was almost $500,000. We liked the entire post.

Endeca Pursues Customer Support
June 20, 2011
Always striving to stay abreast of trends, we found this post at CMSWire “Endeca Spotlights Customer Experience Mgmt with Infront” quite interesting. It is no secret that the search landscape has changed. Traditional vendors of “findability” solutions have put on their thinking caps in order to find ways to pump up revenue in a tough economic climate.
Endeca is pushing its technology’s applicability to customer support. Endeca’s InFront suite of products offers a solution to certain customer support information challenges. Endeca’s system does search and Guided Navigation. It also ads support for search engine optimization, social content, and mobile media support. Endeca asserts:
InFront allows businesses to create greater customer engagement with richer content and promotions,” explained Jason Purcell, General Manager, eBusiness, Endeca. “With integrated analytics and agile business user tools, InFront adapts to changing market needs, influences customer behavior across channels, and scales a relevant, personalized experience for every customer, every time.
Which search vendor will emerge as the victor in the pursuit of customer support license revenue? There are a number of search horses in the race, but there are incumbents. The race is difficult to call.

Inteltrax: Top Stories, June 10 to June 16 2011
June 20, 2011
For readers of Beyond Search who have an interest in data fusion and analytics, the editor of Inteltrax.com, our Web log tracking this market, provided us with a run down of last week’s top stories.—Stephen E Arnold
Inteltrax, the data fusion and business intelligence information service, captured four key stories germane to search this week.
First, “Analytics for Cities” points out the many ways companies like IBM are strengthening search for city governments to run smoother using business intelligence and analytics.
Second, “Don’t Forget India When Pushing Analytic Chips Toward China” takes an in-depth look at the burgeoning Chinese analytic and search market. However, those betting heavily on China are doing a disservice overlooking India.
Third, “South Africa Ready to Join Analytics Boom” shows how some are declaring South Africa dead when it comes to using analytic search, however, a recent economic boom suggests otherwise.
Fourth, “The Rising Tide of Unstructured Data” http://inteltrax.com/2011/06/the-rising-tide-of-unstructured-data warns how unstructured data is a growing thread to the analytics and search communities alike.
Clearly, search professionals are being transformed by developments in predictive analytics, whether it is as far away as Africa or China, in their own city or even in their own business’ mounting pile of info. These are subjects that effect our global business world on almost every level and deserve our attention.

Expert System Is on the Move
June 15, 2011
The way consumers and enterprises are accessing information is changing. Not only is there a need to access and manage information stored in the traditional internal sources, but organizations must be able to effectively manage and capture intelligence from the streams of information coming in from every direction. Without semantic technology, traditional enterprise search is unable to extract value from the stream, which means leaving a great deal of critical information behind. We learned from a recent Expert System news release:
With the overwhelming amount of information available today, there is an unprecedented need to be able to cut through the noise and capture the information that is most important to you,” said Luca Scagliarini, VP of Strategy and Business Development at Expert System. “Semantic is the only technology that can really help companies take advantage of all the information available via the real-time web, and it’s the only technology that will be able to filter the noise for the conversations, the patterns and sentiment that is important to you.
Expert System is positioning itself as a way to deliver enterprise search by intercepting the critical and the relevant from all the streams of information available. By combining the benefits of semantic tagging and semantic-based text comprehension, Cogito SEE allows the enterprise to leverage all the information organizations have access to and require to drive business strategies. New features include:
- A point of access to structured and unstructured information including newsfeeds, social networks and other internet sources.
- An interface that enables intuitive, visual navigation of tags, facets, as well as interaction with search results to discover new connections and data.
- Semantic search capability for multilanguage content.
- Automatic and customizable report generation to monitor and share evolving search details and results.
