Vivisimo Dives into eDiscovery
May 29, 2008
I’ve always liked the Carnegie-Mellon spawned Vivisimo. I think my early experience with Lycos and its writing a check for Point (Top 5% of the Internet) made me look favorably on CMU technologies. Vivisimo announced that its Velocity 6.0 platform now does “social search” and eDiscovery. These are hot topics in search and information retrieval.
You can read Vivisimo’s own announcement of these functions here, or you can take a gander at eWeek’s write up here. The idea is that the system includes a “Discovery Module”. A licensee can tag large groups of search results with custom index terms. In a legal matter, the ability to add a custom tag to a group of documents can be a useful feature.
The issue with email is that there is a lot of it. Vivisimo’s ability to scale will be under the microscope in this hotly-contested sector. There’s Autonomy and dozens of other players in this space. Plus more vendors are jumping on this bandwagon every day. You can find a list of other vendors here.
