DtSearch Marketing Tweak
July 21, 2011
Blogger Greg Duncan focuses on enterprise search provider dtSearch in his July 6, 2011, iteration of “Greg’s Cool [Insert Clever Name] of the Day.” Here he cites I Programmer’s article, “Getting started with dtSearch” as the only recent piece he’s seen that instructs on how to begin using dtSearch. The original is indeed a thorough resource.
The piece is interesting to us, though, because it shows that dtSearch is trying a different marketing angle to developers. I Programmer’s Ian Elliot wrote:
“I also have a great interest in desktop search – or rather how it generally doesn’t work under Windows. Since Vista, Window’s desktop search has been difficult to use, difficult to configure and difficult to manage. I’ve tried alternatives such as Windows Search 4.0 and Solr but there are problems with both. They tend to over complex and simply not worth the effort. Now I’m investigating dtSearch and I can tell you now, it’s a refreshing return to simplicity.”
dtSearch has also added to its proprietary file parsers. Let’s see whether these efforts keep the firm as the darling of the Microsoft developers’ search and retrieval eye. Founded in 1991, dtSearch is a stalwart in Microsoft-centric search.

Identifying Microsoft Partners
July 17, 2011
Here’s an interesting list: WordPress has published the full “Microsoft WPC2011 Exhibitor Guide.” Though there are no links embedded in the list, it is revealing to see who is exhibiting at the 2011 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. The Microsoft Partner Network benefits participants with software, training and support, and sanctioned use of the Microsoft logo.
According to the Conference’s site:
“The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) is the premier event for Microsoft partners. WPC provides a forum for you to connect with other partners and with Microsoft staff, and to learn about the latest Microsoft programs, strategies, and cutting-edge technologies.”
It occurs to me: Google, maybe you want to check this out too.

BA Insight Flexes Its Muscle in the SharePoint Sector
July 17, 2011
“BA Insight Offers Instant Search Result Preview as a Service to Hosted SharePoint Providers,” declares the press release at Government Newswire. BA Insight encourages SharePoint hosting companies to offer this new tool to their customers. The write-up describes the product’s advantages:
“BA Insight’s new subscription-based service provides hosted SharePoint users with instant, fully formatted previews of all search result content, regardless of file type. Because the new offering enables SharePoint users to view search result content without the need to download the file, and automatically directs users to the most relevant page of their search content, Longitude Preview for Hosted SharePoint makes finding enterprise information more rapid, precise, and resource-efficient.”
Ken Toth at the SharePoint Semantics blog has also taken note of this development.
The highlight of this product, of course, is the ability to peruse a document without spending the time and bandwidth to download the entire file. Another advantage is the rigorous security, courtesy of the underlying Microsoft Azure infrastructure.
BA Insight works with their customers to get the most out of their Microsoft SharePoint and FAST applications. They serve over 300 clients, including a number of Fortune 500 companies and major government agencies.

INTEGRITYOne Partners and SharePoint Team Up to Aid the FBI
July 16, 2011
I try to keep at least one tired eye on the competition within the US Federal government between Google and Microsoft. This PR Newswire lead caught our eye here at Beyond Search: “INTEGRITYOne Partners Win $40 Million FBI SharePoint Contract.”
INTEGRITYOne is a management and IT consulting firm that specialized in inspirational and creative ideas/solutions for high-performing clients. They announced a partnership with Applied Information Sciences (AIS) to win a five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide SharePoint services for the FBI. (IDIQ contracts are definitely good. Yep.)
INTEGRITYOne has provided SharePoint services for other law enforcement and national security organizations in the past, proving to have a strong track record. Their experience has made them familiar with the law enforcement mission and will be a boon to their new contract. We learned:
“The role the FBI plays in ensuring the safety of American citizens cannot be overstated,” said INTEGRITYOne Partners Managing Partner Michael Waddell. “We are honored to support their mission under this contract.”
After reading this brief, we asked ourselves will other law agencies dump Google and head to Microsoft SharePoint? SharePoint is easier to self-contain and secure. Google is just about anyone’s game. The FBI should may want to ask an appropriate vendor to check out SurfRay’s technology to make their SharePoint search all the more easier.
