THE GOVERNMENT OF ONTARIO DEPLOYS FAST ESP
OSLO, Norway and TORONTO, Canada - 21 June 2004
- Fast Search & Transfer™ (FAST™), the leading developer of enterprise search and real-time alert technologies, and ACIS Consulting, a systems integrator, management consultant, and a reseller of FAST's enterprise search solutions, today announced that the Government of Ontario has deployed the FAST Enterprise Search Platform (FAST ESP™) on its central portal.
"FAST ESP offers companies and organizations a flexible, enterprise search solution for finding the most relevant search results from a wide variety of document formats and languages," commented John M. Lervik, FAST's chief executive officer. "Our customers are given a tremendous opportunity to analyze and adjust the relevancy of information, while the amount of data in their index expands. The Government of Ontario's deployment of FAST ESP pleases us greatly and further increases FAST's presence in the government sector as well as in Canada."
Running on low-cost, high performance servers, the precision-engineered FAST ESP enables organizations to efficiently gain a 360-degree view of relevant structured data stored in databases, as well as the unstructured data of documents, emails, presentations, web pages and more. Whether data exists in multiple databases and applications, on corporate intranets, or on the Web, FAST ESP provides unlimited access and scalability in data volume, number of users, and freshness of data. It also enables organizations to draw one complete, accurate, secure, and intelligent view of all the information they need to advance the fortunes of the enterprise.
"By providing our customers with FAST's powerful search platform, we are addressing their complicated search needs and allowing them to migrate from smaller installations to enterprise-wide deployments, as required, without changing software platform," said Efrem Habteselassie, president of ACIS Consulting. "Other enterprise search solutions we studied simply pale in comparison to the scalability, flexibility, and the high quality search results offered by FAST ESP."
FAST ESP is offered through the FAST Data Search™ suite of enterprise search solutions, which includes FAST Data Search™ for Site Search; FAST Data Search™ for Compliance; FAST Data Search™ for eCommerce; FAST Data Search™ for Intranets; FAST Data Search™ for eDirectories; and FAST Data Search™ 360. The FAST Data Search product suite supplies a complete information retrieval solution ideal for key vertical markets and applications including e-Commerce and Internet Portals, Financial Services; Government; Life Sciences; Media and Publishing; and Telecom.
