Original Press Release:
Oracle Unveils Oracle® Secure Enterprise Search 10g
Will Help Organizations Boost Productivity and Maintain Tighter Controls by Providing Secure Searching of Enterprise Information
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., March 2 / -- Oracle has announced Oracle(R) Secure Enterprise Search 10g, a comprehensive, standalone search engine that enables customers to make critical business information available to authorized users while enforcing corporate security policies. Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g delivers high-quality search results from a range of enterprise data sources including databases, file systems, enterprise content management systems, portals, email systems and enterprise applications.
Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g is tuned for the needs of the enterprise with search algorithms that can utilize existing business metadata to improve the relevance of search results. It enables a rapid return on investment by combining a speedy installation process with an easy-to-use interface to deliver immediate value. The product features a simple Web interface allowing for efficient administration and management. Additionally, users can access the search engine through Web-based user interfaces and perform traditional keyword searches that provide results in a format similar to conventional Web searches, which helps minimize training and support costs.
Today's businesses face the challenge of reconciling the need for knowledge workers to quickly locate relevant information from diverse data sources, with the need to protect sensitive information. To address this, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g has built-in functionality that permits users to see only search results leading to information for which they have authorized access. Specifically, Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g delivers direct integration with multiple user authentication systems, a hardened repository for storing the search index, a secure programming interface used to customize the search capabilities and high-quality search results.
"Compliance regulations mandate that organizations maintain tight controls regarding who can access specific information," said Robert Shimp, vice president, technology marketing, Oracle. "Thus, it is increasingly important to provide search technology that delivers results customized to the user's role within the organization. Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g addresses this need."
"Enterprises have unique search requirements that differ from those of consumer search," said Sue Feldman, research vice president, IDC. "Secure access to multiple repositories, file formats, data and content is a necessary component. So, too, are ease-of-use, single point of access and integration with other major enterprise applications. As enterprise search becomes more mission-critical to information intensive organizations, they will want it to come with the same scalability, reliability and global support that they now expect from the rest of their IT infrastructure."
"Oracle Secure Enterprise Search is being used in AT Kearney to provide a comprehensive, secure search over all the intellectual capital locked away in our applications and sources," said Michael F. Johnson, vice president and chief information officer, AT Kearney, Inc. "Having tried several products and different approaches to delivering a single search covering our databases, files and mail, we found Oracle's product provides the clearest fit to our requirements. We are also happy to see very good search quality, with our users being able to find what they want fast. AT Kearney has been a beta tester since April 2005 and plans to go live with Oracle Secure Enterprise Search."
"We used Oracle Secure Enterprise Search for our portal site under development at the University of Tokyo," said Ryugo S. Hayano, professor, department of physics, University of Tokyo. "Oracle Secure Enterprise Search is an ideal product for use as a search engine built into our portal. It can securely conduct interdisciplinary full-text searches of all documents for various types of content within the University."
"We have been testing Oracle's search product for a number of months, and are very satisfied to see Oracle Secure Enterprise Search enter the market," said Thomas Fuerle, director of Web operations, Austrian National Bank. "We find that the search quality is very compelling and our users can at last find all the information they want from a single search."

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search 10g is scheduled to be generally available by the end of Oracle's fiscal year -- May 31, 2006.
