Single-click solution: Partnership addresses need for real-time enterprise search

Simplexo, an open-source enterprise search specialist, and Ingres, a supplier of open-source database management software and support services, say a new partnership between the two organizations will change not only the way, but the speed in which people search and retrieve critical business information.
Joint customers will benefit from access to Ingres Database, a high-performance, enterprise-grade, open-source database, coupled with Simplexo’s ability to securely search all enterprise information with a single click. This adds up to users being able to make informed business decisions faster and with greater accuracy.
According to the Butler Group, a leading U.K.-based analyst firm, employees spend up to 20 hours each week searching for information. The cost of working with inadequate information and inefficient search capabilities is one of the most pressing threats to any competitive business. Simplexo reportedly provides “single-click” information retrieval, enabling companies to simultaneously and securely search both structured and unstructured data sources in real time.
By joining forces with Ingres, the real-time enterprise search capability of Simplexo Enterprise will complement the Ingres IceBreaker BI (business intelligence) Appliance, which delivers all an organization’s BI needs—from reporting, analysis, and dashboards to complete data integration with existing systems. The partnership with Simplexo also further complements the current partnerships Ingres has in place with JasperSoft in business intelligence and Alfresco in content management.
