01: Sybase Taps ISYS Document Filters

As Gartner prepares to release its upcoming “State of the Union” on enterprise search, what’s clear from our perspective is that future market growth will be driven by innovations in text analytics and federated analysis of content stores.  No, this isn’t breaking news, and it doesn’t mean that commodity enterprise search goes away.  But if our customer base is any indication, today’s requirements have almost exclusively moved away from “search as convenience” to the “mandate of instant insight.”

Sybase is one of the driving forces behind text analytics today, and ISYS is pleased that it’s pioneering work in text analytics is playing a key role in the latest release of Sybase IQ.  At the TDWI conference last month in San Diego, Sybase announced its intention to enter into an agreement with ISYS under which Sybase will resell ISYS Document Filters as a key component for text analytics in Sybase IQ. 

Since the introduction of ISYS Document Filters in 2009, we’ve learned a great deal from implementations that are serving broad applications and use cases.  In fact, the innovations we’re actively infusing into our text extraction capabilities are being shaped by those experiences.  The applications that ISYS Document Filters help drive give us just a glimpse of how text analytics is evolving and how today’s innovators are approaching the “mandate of instant insight” challenge.

02: Webinar: Document Filters and Search-Enabled Applications

It is a little known fact that document filters serve as a key first step in driving search-enabled applications. Due to the critical importance of document filters, many software vendors license this technology from one of only three commercial providers, of which ISYS Search Software is one.

To help attendees better understand document filters and the commercial and open-source options available, ISYS is hosting a 30-minute webinar in conjunction with experts from Lucid Imagination and New Idea Engineering on Wednesday, July 28, at 1 p.m. Eastern. Titled, “The Critical Role of Document Filters in Search-Enabled Applications”, the webinar will offer attendees:

• An overview of document filters
• The role they play in search-enabled applications
• Which formats and support levels are key
• A description of commercial and open source options

Presenting during this 30-minute webinar will be Miles Kehoe, President, New Idea Engineering; Eran Yaniv, Solutions Manager, Lucid Imagination; and Dave Haucke, VP Global Marketing, ISYS Search Software.  Register for the webinar today!

03: Lucid Imagination Taps ISYS For Document Filters

Earlier in the year we introduced you to the new member of our family of embedded search and access solutions:  ISYS File Readers.  Today we are pleased to update you on one of our first ISYS File Readers partners:  Lucid Imagination.  We’re particularly excited about this partnership, as anyone who is following search knows the serious “street cred” Lucid Imagination has been garnering as of late.

In much the same way that our ISYS File Readers are disrupting the market for document filters, Lucid Imagination is shaking up the enterprise search industry and getting companies to look at information access in a whole new light.  With some of Apache Lucene/Solr’s key contributors leading Lucid Imagination, the company is making waves, and ISYS is pleased to now provide them with a critical piece to their offering.  We encourage you to learn more about Lucid Imagination, read up on our ISYS File Readers document filtering technology, and review what some of the industry’s leading analysts are saying about our partnership:
