Vivisimo and Bupa
May 22, 2009
A happy quack to the reader who wanted me to know about Vivisimo’s latest customer win. The story appeared in Red Orbit here. Bupa is, according to the story, owner of “leading health information Web sites worldwide.” I was not familiar with Bupa. The company has, according to the Red Orbit write up, more than 10 million customers.
Vivisimo’s system is not search. According to the story Vivisimo’s system is “intelligent” and provides geo-spatial search, content mash ups, and social tagging. These features called to my mind the “portal systems” that deliver users a dashboard of information. The story said:
Through the power of Vivisimo Velocity, Bupa will expand and enhance the user search experience across its network of websites, starting with Bupa.co.uk and Bupa-Intl.com, and then moving out to other sites. In addition to English language Bupa websites, Vivisimo may also implement and support multiple language search across its global sites.
You can get more information about the Vivisimo system here. The new search system joins Bupa online exercise class, which became available in April 2009.
