Vivisimo, a leader in enterprise search, recently announced that its Velocity Enterprise Search Platform was named “Trend-Setting Product of 2009″ by KMWorld Magazine. This is the fifth consecutive year that Velocity has received this award.
“We are honored to be on this impressive list selected by the staff and editors of KMWorld Magazine,” said John Kealey, CEO of Vivisimo. “The need for enterprises to quickly find and harness information has never been greater, especially given today’s fast paced ‘on demand’ business environment. We take tremendous pride that our recent innovations in social and conceptual search continue to be recognized for helping enterprises meet these demands.”
KMWorld’s “Trend-Setting Products” awards began in 2003, and represent the software and systems innovations that have expanded the reach and effectiveness of information management. This year, more than 800 products were assessed by the judging panel, which consists of editorial staff, analysts, system integrators, vendors, line-of-business managers, and users. The products selected all demonstrate clearly identifiable technology breakthroughs that serve the vendors’ full spectrum of constituencies, especially their customers.
“The KMWorld ‘Trend-Setting Products’ awards represent the leaders in software and systems innovations,” said Hugh McKellar, editor-in-chief at KMWorld magazine. “The products selected deliver customer value and are most likely to be embraced by the marketplace and gain wide adoption.”
Vivisimo Velocity 7.0, which followed the company’s industry-leading social search release, introduced conceptual search to enterprises and provided customers a new interface to empower their users with explicit control to fine tune queries and personalize search to meet specific information goals. In addition to Velocity 7.0, Vivisimo also released Velocity for OEM, which leveraged the platform’s superior architecture and inherent flexibility into a highly modular design for easy deployment in a variety of markets and applications.
