SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Recommind, a leading enterprise search and categorization company, today announced that its flagship MindServer 4.2 information access platform provides full enterprise search integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. As the established leader in enterprise search for the legal market, Recommind now brings this expertise to the Microsoft SharePoint platform to provide knowledge workers with the best possible enterprise search experience, further establishing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 as the portal platform of the future. The integration enables Recommind and Microsoft customers to quickly implement Recommind enterprise search with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and establish a powerful information hub.

Recommind also announced today that it has achieved recognition as a Microsoft Certified Partner, based on its high degree of development investment and competence with Microsoft technologies. Recommind has been working with Microsoft on the SharePoint integration project to deliver powerful integrated search capabilities to customers of the two companies. Recommind has also integrated MindServer with SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and leverages Microsoft's .NET API for the search integrations.

"Enterprise search is rapidly becoming a "must-have" capability for organizations in every industry," said Mark Albrecht, director of strategic ISV recruitment for Microsoft. "By combining the Recommind enterprise search application with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, our joint legal customers immediately gain access to valuable knowledge assets that might otherwise go untapped. Search makes the difference between simply having information and being able to easily use information."

"Our joint development efforts with Microsoft on this important integration represent a significant step forward in our relationship as a Microsoft Certified Partner," said Bob Tennant, CEO of Recommind. "User adoption is critical to an organization's success with its portal investment. By integrating Recommind enterprise search with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, we can accelerate users' adoption of the SharePoint portal and provide access to all of an organization's knowledge assets through the familiar portal interface. Recommind integration will enable our mutual customers to build successful long-term information access strategies founded on industry-leading technologies."

Combining the Recommind MindServer platform with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server enables users to quickly search knowledge assets -- within the SharePoint portal, as well as in the organization's e-mail, document management, enterprise management, human resources, time and billing, CRM, and contact management systems. Recommind delivers results ranked by relevancy to the users' SharePoint interface. From here, users can refine their searches using Recommind smart filtering capabilities. When a search result is selected, the user can view text of the results through Document Preview, view additional context for the result, and browse other related results.

MindServer 4.2 is the latest release of Recommind's flagship MindServer enterprise information access platform. MindServer transforms high volumes of discrete files, documents, and messages contained in enterprise management systems, HR, time and billing systems, CRM and contact management systems into manageable information relevant to a user's specific purpose. As documents change and new information is added, MindServer automatically updates data, ensuring that information is always accurate, current, and secure. For enterprises, the MindServer 4.2 platform delivers breakthrough information access and usability, minimizing the need for costly application integration initiatives and generating higher return from an organization's existing information stores.
