Queplix Unveils Universal Search Solution

Posted on: Monday, 16 March 2009, 07:29 CDT

Securely Unlocks Value of Structured Data in Enterprise and Cloud Applications

PRINCETON, N.J., March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Queplix(TM) Inc., a provider of enterprise information access technology, today unveiled QueSearch(TM) -- a universal search platform that securely integrates structured data from enterprise, SaaS and cloud applications into a single powerful search tool. QueSearch software automatically extracts data and permissions from a wide variety of application and database formats, while enforcing security policies and access controls on a per-user basis to ensure that sensitive data is protected. QueSearch has been deployed by leading enterprises in the manufacturing and retail sectors, with pilots in additional sectors including pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, financial services, legal services, and government.

Queplix has leveraged its unique QueCrawler(TM) technology, developed over several years as part of the Queplix QueWeb(TM) information access solution, to deliver an unprecedented level of automation and integration with top enterprise applications including SAP, Siebel, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Salesforce.com and Microsoft Exchange. The QueWeb and QueSearch solutions, built on QueCrawler technology, are ideal for improving information access and productivity in many parts of the enterprise, including customer care, partner and channel management, e-discovery, business intelligence, and Web self-service. In addition, both QueSearch and QueWeb facilitate migration of enterprise applications to cloud computing platforms, enabling lower maintenance costs and improved access for employees and customers.

Existing search solutions in the market today provide incomplete access to structured data, often requiring manual data extraction and hard-coded SQL programming. In addition, because these solutions lack a comprehensive security and access control framework to enforce existing application policies, many enterprises are reluctant to include sensitive but valuable data in search results.

The QueSearch solution addresses these challenges with a number of key advantages:

• Synthetic documents: QueSearch ingests structured data from enterprise and cloud applications, and creates synthetic data objects that can be injected into enterprise search indexes such as Google Search Appliance, Autonomy, Endeca, or FAST. Users receive a relevance-ranked search results list integrating unstructured data, documents, and structured data, as well as a category-grouped listing of results. The QueSearch(TM) synthetic documents can combine and de-duplicate structured data from multiple applications, providing a 360-degree view of each customer, part number, or record.

• Near real-time indexing: QueSearch monitors applications in real time to capture updated data and meta-data for injection into the search index. This makes it an ideal front-end for employees to access data from all of their critical applications, as opposed to opening multiple application interfaces and running multiple queries.

• Dynamic discovery: QueSearch can dynamically discover application data and meta-data, such as business entities and relational links, users, roles, and permissions for inclusion in the search index, reducing the need for custom development and taxonomy catalogues.

• Web-based data browsing: Once users receive authorized search results incorporating structured and unstructured data, QueSearch enables them to view the data within the original application, or within a flexible Web data browsing interface. QueSearch also enables custom "actions" directly from the search results interface, such as creating a new support database entry, or opening a new purchase order.

Analysts have recently highlighted the importance of universal search for enterprise applications. According to the 2008 Forrester Wave(TM) report for Enterprise Search: "The power to merge structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data has enabled entirely new applications at the intersection of business intelligence and search."

"The Queplix Universal Search solution fills a critical need for many enterprises," said Steven Yaskin, CEO of Queplix. "They've spent millions on their business applications, which hold a tremendous amount of critical data that can improve profitability and competitive differentiation -- but their employees and customers simply can't find what they need. Queplix securely puts this information within convenient reach, unlocking additional value from the company's applications."

The QueSearch solution is available immediately, with software and appliance deployment options. Pricing starts at $19,500.
