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.

This Thursday (June 19 at 11 a.m. Pacific), ISYS will be participating in a panel discussion at the Gilbane Conference in San Francisco. The panel is part of Gilbane’s Enterprise Search and Text Analytics track, with the topic focused on what’s new and hot in search. The panel will be moderated by Gilbane’s lead analyst for search, Lynda Moulton, who is constantly battling Steve Arnold for the title of “Most Prolific Enterprise Search Blogger” (although Steve, and possibly even Lynda, might object to the phrase “enterprise search”). Both Lynda’s blog and Steve’s blog provide perhaps the best and most thorough collection of news and analysis of what’s happening in search, so be sure to check them out.
A brief description of the session can be found on the Gilbane San Francisco website. For ISYS’ part, we’ll be discussing some of the new capabilities you’ll find in our new upcoming release. This will be your chance to get the inside scoop on the technology before it’s released, so be sure to attend and say hello after the session.
