Rocket AeroText Search: Stretching the Access Concept

August 6, 2015

I did a quick check on AeroText search. I assume that even the most jejune enterprise search expert is familiar with this system. What I noticed is that AeroText now moves beyond search into six separate functions. These reminded me of Fast Search & Transfer’s approach in the 2006-2007, pre-implosion period.

The six functions, which you can read about and request a demo of, are at this link. These are:

  1. Folio Views. The idea is that basic search and retrieval are provided by Rocket
  2. Folio Builder. The idea is that information can be organized into folders for research purposes
  3. Folio Publisher. A commercial publishing company can package its information and sell it in digital form.
  4. Folio Integrator. This is a a software development kit.
  5. NXT Enterprise Server. This is the enterprise centric content processing and search system.
  6. NXT Professional Publishing Server. This is a “suite for storing, assembling, securing, and distributing content” which includes search.

If you navigate have a copy of one the first three editions of the Enterprise Search Report I wrote between 2003 and 2006, you will be able to check out the similarities. I present some of the Fast Search nomenclature in this 2012 article.

I find the marketing and positioning of Autonomy and Fast Search interesting. These companies themes are as fresh today as they were years ago.
