JustSystems ConceptBase

November 1, 2009

My Overflight system reported that JustSystems Corp. and two partners (Foz Co. and IBM Japan) have teamed up to create a search appliance. The product is called ConceptBase Enterprise Search Appliance”.  The product will be available during the week of November 2, 2009.

ConceptBase offers powerful document search and summarization capabilities for managing and using corporate information infrastructures. ConceptBase is offered in two versions – ConceptBase 20, for managing information on the PC desktop, and ConceptBase 1000, for managing information at the corporate enterprise level. ConceptBase won 1998 Software Product of the Year award from the Software Information Center (SOFTIC), a bureau of Japan’s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

I have sketchy details. JustSystems has been working with search wizard Dr. David Evans, Clairvoyance, for a number of years. JustSystems has been active in the XML tools market.

As I understand the appliance, the user “just” plugs the system into an existing network. After configuration, the system indexes document, file servers, and Web server content. The box ships with connectors for database files and  Lotus notes.
