01: ISYS Launches 2009 Enterprise Access Suite

ISYS Search Software today introduced its new 2009 Enterprise Access Suite by officially launching its ISYS Anywhere mobile enterprise search server.  As a whole, the 2009 Enterprise Access Suite is comprised of a core set of embedded search and infrastructure solutions for information access, management and reuse.  ISYS Anywhere specifically addresses the common pain of the mobile workforce … namely all the tools for conducting work remotely EXCEPT for the ability to search and retrieve key data from the field.

ISYS Anywhere is especially signficant as it merges all content repositories (from locally stored information to server data) into a single point of access.  This includes the ability to search email, individual PCs, business applications and more from a Blackberry, iPhone or any browser-enabled device.  Alternate solutions to date have addressed either desktop data or server content, but not both.

The full details of our new suite can be found via our official press release, via EContent Magazine’s coverage or in the technology section of our website.

02: ISYS Positioned as a Challenger

Today we announced that ISYS has been positioned as a Challenger in Gartner’s 2009 Magic Quadrant for Information Access Technology.  As you might be aware, the Magic Quadrant is one methodology Gartner uses to classify players in a market.  A large number of organizations worldwide place a lot of importance on reports such as these, so we take great pride in being listed among the 12 vendors that Gartner considers either a Challenger or Leader in Information Access Technology.

03: Webinar: The Changing Face of Search

ISYS is hosting a webinar this week (Thursday, Sept. 17, at Noon Eastern). The topic is “The Changing Face of Enterprise Search and Information Access.” The theme centers around the notion that search is rapidly evolving from being solely a front-end productivity tool into a dynamic, back-end intelligence engine.

Joining us to lend their insights into this topic are:

* Leslie Owens, Analyst, Forrester Research
* Brian Pinkerton, Chief Architect, Lucid Imagination
* Kevin Reester, CTO, Reveal

We’d love to have you join us for this discussion. You can register here.

05: CMSWatch Search Report Updated

The folks over at CMSWatch released its “cross-check” of the 2009 Search Report.  We encourage you to check it out, as it’s one of the more in-depth information access report available.

With all due respect to the great search team at CMSWatch, we do have to highlight that the lag between vendor interviews and when the report is published is somewhat disappointing.  We certainly understand the massive challenge they face in keeping on top of this fast-moving, crowded market, but we all can appreciate just how much changes in this space over the course of nine months.

The pace of innovation and growth at ISYS is the highest it has been in our 20-year history.  As you follow this blog over the course of 2009, we’re confident you’ll see exactly what we’re talking about.  We very much look forward to briefing the CMSWatch team on what we’ve been up to since June 2008.  In the meantime, we invite you to review the report and then call ISYS to learn about the latest and greatest.

06: ISYS Releases ISYS:web 9, Appoints New CEO

We’ve been deliberately quiet as of late, thanks to a number of fun projects happening behind the scenes here at ISYS.  This week was just a taste of what’s to come in 2009.  In addition to announcing the appointment of our new CEO, Scott Coles, we also launched Version 9 of our ISYS:web information access and discovery solution for intranet search and site search.  The folks at EContent and Arnold IT covered it here and here.

Additionally, we rolled out our new website.  Collectively, these milestone moments kick off a new phase in our formidable history.  The year ahead for ISYS will be characterized by aggressive growth on all fronts, most importantly on the product development side of things.  We invite media, analysts and customers to contact us to learn more about our direction and what the roadmap looks like.

07: Analysts Point to ISYS

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.
