Digital Reef Makes Microsoft Fast Work
May 25, 2009
I puzzled over “Digital Reef Partners with FAST, Helps Manage SharePoint Content” in CMSWire here. The article covers a number of content functions that I try to keep separate; for example, unstructured data, “out of the box support for eDiscovery, compliance, Office SharePoint Server management, data security, and storage initiatives”, and analytic tools. Oh, I almost omitted manipulation of structured data. Who provides this happy family of services? Digital Reef. You can read more about this company here. The company asserts that it handles these different functions. My view is that the company knows how to tame SharePoint and implement Fast Search’s ESP “out of the box”. In my experience, prior to the acquisition of Fast Search & Transfer, implementing Fast ESP as an “out of the box” solution was time consuming, difficult, and required a Fast engineer with email and phone access to senior Fast Search wizards in Boston and Oslo. Dark days ahead for third party vendors of alternatives to Microsoft SharePoint services.
