Exalead Announces New Migration Program for FAST Search & Transfer OEM Customers


Accelerate With Exalead Program Offers a Simple, Risk-Free Path and Compelling Incentives to Switch to exalead one:enterprise(TM) OEM Edition

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 -- Exalead®, a global provider of search software for business and the Web, today announced the launch of a new migration program called Accelerate With Exalead that is designed to help FAST Search & Transfer's OEM customers easily switch to exalead one:enterprise(TM) OEM Edition without technical or financial risk.

"With the continued consolidation in the market for information access solutions, most recently with Microsoft's planned acquisition of FAST, there is increased uncertainty among customers and partners about the continuity of services from their vendors," said Kevin Kramer, vice president of OEM, Exalead. "Accelerate With Exalead is designed to help ease those uncertainties by providing organizations with a compelling, risk-free alternative to migrate to a high-performance, scalable enterprise search platform. Exalead has remained a strong, independent pure-play search vendor from its inception and is focused on delivering new innovations to market, specifically targeting corporate customers and independent software vendors, which support our unified approach to search."

Exalead Offers Flexibility, Scalability and Performance

The exalead one:enterprise 4.6 OEM Edition is designed specifically for ISVs serving data- and transaction-intensive markets, including enterprise content management, business and competitive intelligence, document and records management, e-mail and compliance, digital asset management, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, publishing and human resources. The context-based enterprise search solution offers high- performance and scalability, and is designed to be embedded into vertical solutions with rich APIs and a lightweight footprint. The Exalead OEM Solution also offers multi-platform support and extensible data access to support an ISV's existing infrastructure and architecture, thereby accelerating time-to-market and lowering the total cost of ownership.

TeraDP, a content management and archiving solution provider for newspapers, has decided to migrate to exalead one:enterprise 4.6 OEM Edition. "We chose Exalead because its outstanding feature set and solution architecture would enhance our product offering and benefit both our installed base and future customers. During our migration to Exalead, their highly- professional team has provided us with a straight-forward, cost-effective migration path to exalead one:enterprise OEM Edition," said Michele Mottini, CEO, TeraDP. "In the time-critical newspaper industry it is crucial that Tera customers have a seamless switch to ensure their business continuity. We could not have asked for more from any other Tier 1 search vendor."
