Vivisimo Now at Version 8 of Velocity
October 11, 2010
The news release fooled me. The title was “Vivisimo Releases Velocity 8.0, New Version of Its Market Leading Information Optimization Platform.” (News release links can go dark. You may have to poke around for the source document.) I continue to think of Vivisimo as a company with an on-the-fly clustering function that makes results from metasearch results useful. No more. Velocity 8,0 is an “information optimization platform”, a phrase that means about as much to me as “taxonomy governance,” about which I commented on Linked In last week.
Terminology aside, the new release of Velocity includes:
- Hit boosting. The idea is that a certain piece of information can be placed at the top of a results list
- Support for Microsoft SharePoint
- Tweaks to scaling
- A query auto complete function.
There are other enhancements. You can find these described at www.vivisimo.com. Hmmm. “Information optimization platform.” Another platform, another interesting way to describe information retrieval. Whatever works is okay with me.
