01: What the SAP Agreement Means for ISYS

Well, quite a bit has been written in recent weeks about the global OEM agreement that ISYS secured with software giant SAP. Much of the comment has understandably been technical in nature, as well as what it means for the SAP products that are embedding ISYS Document Filters and Big Data as a driving force in Text Analytics.

But what I’d like to touch on here is just what the agreement means for ISYS as a company, in validating our medium term strategy of becoming the pre-eminent player in “Embedded Search”. In effect, decoupling our solutions (like Document Filters and Integration Kit) and using these as the dedicated search components powering a range of broader, search-enabled solutions.

In pursuing  this strategy, we now not only have major vendors like SAP, Sybase and MarkLogic; but through them and other larger Partners (such as HP, EMC, Proofpoint and Detica) also provide embedded ISYS solutions to many top Fortune 500 companies in business-critical application areas like Text Analytics, Enterprise Content Management, Email Archiving, eDiscovery and Data Loss Prevention.

Today, this means there is a high likelihood that your business is utilizing some form of search-enabled application powered by ISYS – along with 16,000 other organizations that use ISYS technology to help grow their business.

It also means that we have grown quite a bit as a company, based on delivering superior technology, backed up by great service and support. Indeed, those were essentially the reasons why SAP chose ISYS to help power its new generation of enterprise software solutions. We worked closely with SAP over 18 months and were able to leverage our existing relationship with Sybase, itself an SAP Company.

ISYS has very definitely arrived. Small wonder that many ISVs are now looking to us and our class-leading Document Filters technology to help them and their own customers extract greater business value in the world of Big Data.

02: Big Data: ISYS Webcast With IDC

All organizations keep a close watch on their assets — money in the bank, real estate, employees, equipment, orders, deliveries and intellectual property (like patents, trademarks and licenses).  Many even seek to measure the asset value of their brands.

This information is required for regulatory reasons and to enable the Board of Directors to manage the organization effectively.

However, very few have any kind of measure for the amount of information they have, even though this represents a fundamental asset of today’s organization.  Think of all the information residing in documents, emails, intranet, website, blogs and wikis.  Do you know how much potentially valuable data you have?  If you had to find business-critical data, could you find precisely what you need easily, quickly and to the level of detail you wanted?

Join ISYS and IDC’s Sue Feldman for a webcast on the topic of “Tackling Big Data:  Information Assets as a Competitive Advantage.”  During this session, Sue and ISYS CMO Mark Vadgama will discuss the state of information management, the challenges inherent in the explosion of unstructured content, and the methods and approaches today’s leading enterprises are employing to tackle ‘Big Data’.
