Vivisimo Grows Customer Base in Japan
Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of enterprise search software and expertise, today announced significant strides in the Japanese marketplace with the addition of several new customers last quarter, including Basic Inc., the University of Tokyo, and an FT Global 500 pharmaceutical company, who join existing customers such as Bitratings, Carview Corporation, Kadokawa Cross Media, and Suginami-ku Parenting Site. Last year, Vivisimo signed a reseller agreement with Groupnet Corp. in Tokyo, and the recent customer growth is indicative of the universal need for high-performance search solutions across a wide range of markets.
Customers in Japan are using Vivisimo Velocity to strengthen their online brand through enhanced Web site search capabilities and to improve information worker knowledge. The large Japanese pharmaceutical company will leverage the power of the Velocity enterprise search platform internally to boost employee productivity and overall business efficiency.
“We are delighted with our increased penetration of the vital Japanese market and believe it is a testament to the ubiquitous need for search solutions that empower knowledge workers to find and discover information with the simplicity of their regular Web searches,” said Joseph LeBas, vice president of worldwide sales, Vivisimo.
The Vivisimo Velocity platform provides enterprises with innovative search solutions that allow users to access, extract and manipulate all available content, regardless of location. By combining the simplicity of consumer search with the flexibility and control of enterprise software, organizations can reap the benefits of increased user adoption and satisfaction without compromising on performance, scalability, security or the ability to configure a solution specific to its business environment. Based on a service-oriented architecture that enables rapid deployment, Vivisimo Velocity can be up and running in just weeks.
The momentum in Japan comes on the heels of the recent release of Velocity 5.5, which provides a dependable, usable and stable end-user search experience across all corporate departments. It is a milestone in the evolution of enterprise search technology, empowering customers to expand beyond the traditional limitations of departmental inquiries to enterprise-wide search without compromising reliability.
