Analysts Point to ISYS

Monday, October 13th, 2008

In the last two weeks, ISYS has had the privilege of landing on a handful analysts’ radars.  On Sept. 30, 2008, Gartner Inc. announced its 2008 Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology, where ISYS is listed among many of the key players in the market.

Gilbane Group’s Lynda Moulton mentioned ISYS in a recent blog post, where she espoused the virtues of the nimble search players.  ISYS has long advocated an “iterative” approach to search, so we’re pleased to see the analyst community put some substance behind a philosophy we strongly encourage.

And finally, the venerable Steve Arnold was gracious enough to relay how he uses ISYS as one of his key tools for Google patent analysis.  Many folks know the fine work Steve has done tracking the GOOG, and it’s an honor to know ISYS plays a small role in his sought-after research.

Gilbane Features ISYS in Search Report

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

If you’re a regular reader of Lynda Moulton’s Enterprise Search blog for the Gilbane Group, you’re no doubt familiar with the recent research work she’s done on the industry and its players.  I’m sure Lynda has ample physical evidence to support how much work she and her team put into this (copious research notes, gallons of coffee and many sleepless nights, we’re sure), but the end product is quite comprehensive and informative.

In the report, you’ll find “practical guidance about product evaluation, selection, implementation, deployment and maintenance.”  A terrific “Getting Started” guide for anyone currently evaluating search, information access and discovery technologies.
