Inside Search: Raymond Bentinck of Exalead, Part 1, and Part 2 by Stephen E Arnold (Feb 1 and 4)
Stephen Arnold had a long discussion with Raymond Bentinck of Exalead about search in the enterprise as being mission critical. It's not commodity.
Exalead has search systems it sells to the enterprise to replace legacy search systems from Verity (one example) and others.
Demos of its technology can be seen at the labs site, such Voxaleadnews for searching video and radio sources of news.
"This solution indexes radio and video news from around the world in several languages. In addition to this, we extract in real-time relevant entities from the news items such as people, organizations and locations."
Bentinck quoted Sue Feldman of IDC - "The next generation of information work will be search based.”
Exalead claims to be able to meet that requirement.
"Our platform is unique in having the same core platform that works on a single laptop for desktop search that scales to millions of users and billions of documents on, for example, our showcase Web search site, by new media companies to provide next generation search based applications, by organizations to provide internal and external search and in ever increasing numbers by organizations to allow them to build agile solutions to retrieve mission critical data from operational databases through to business intelligence, data Warehouses and master data management."
