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:
- Folio Views. The idea is that basic search and retrieval are provided by Rocket
- Folio Builder. The idea is that information can be organized into folders for research purposes
- Folio Publisher. A commercial publishing company can package its information and sell it in digital form.
- Folio Integrator. This is a a software development kit.
- NXT Enterprise Server. This is the enterprise centric content processing and search system.
- 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.
