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.

At the forefront of this acronym army is our friend ROI. It’s no surprise that ROI continues to be so popular. Let’s face it — it’s in our nature as consumers to understand what we stand to gain from our purchases.

One of the ways ISYS helps its customers determine the ROI for search and information access is via our ISYS SearchTrends analytics capability. SearchTrends delivers the standard reports, such as top search terms and the like. And while it’s always good to learn more about what your audiences are gravitating toward, the really interesting intelligence to be gleaned from SearchTrends is the information your customers aren’t finding.

Part Four in our white paper series takes a look at search analytics and the type of insight that reporting tools like SearchTrends deliver. Read “Measuring the Impact of Your Search Engine via Analytics” (PDF) to learn more about how to leverage search metrics on your website, intranet or portal.
