Microsoft Snags a Big Search Project
July 2, 2012
Search Content Management recently reported on a new win for Microsoft in the article “FAST Enterprise Search at Core of European Court of Human Rights Website.”
According to the article, The European Court of Human Rights has quite a task ahead of it. After nearly a decade of using a site designed using Fulcrum Technologies’ document management software, ECHR has decided to use Microsoft’s FAST Enterprise Search to overhaul its Web site in order to make it as intuitive and simple as Amazon and simplify the search process. In addition to this, ECHR is also working to make the new site accessible to mobile devices.
It is imperative that this happens because the ECHR Web site currently receives 4.6 million visits a year from lawyers, government officials, students, professors, journalists and citizens seeking rulings and information about the state of individual freedoms in Europe. In addition to this, the new site will enable search of 90,000 documents on rulings that affect more than 800 million inhabitants.
When discussing the upcoming project, the article states:
“Beginning next week, ECHR expects to expand the reach of its site search capabilities to more than 5 million users and be able to accommodate 5,000 visitors at a given time when rulings are made. The integration of document management, enterprise search and a cloud-based collaboration in the Web CMS promises automated Google indexing for public-facing documents, improved ECHR real-time collaboration efforts and reduced overhead.”
Due to the nature and status of this project, being selected to do the ECHR’s Web site redesign is certainly a win for Microsoft.
