Endeca announced the immediate availability of its enterprise search solution, Endeca ProFind. Built on the Endeca Navigation Engine, Endeca ProFind enables users to navigate through enterprise data to find the precise document or piece of information they need, quickly and efficiently. In addition to helping users find what they are looking for, Endeca ProFind creates “information portals” that help users discover information that they didn’t know was there. For example, an engineer looking for information on jet engine boosters can navigate through documents and parts data using Guided Navigation revealing a specific “product upgrade” that she otherwise may not have known existed until she actually went to order the part. As Endeca ProFind helps the engineer refine her search to find the information she needs, it also presents the engineer with an “information portal” that includes other documents on jet engine boosters and other related parts specifications and information that may be of interest. With Endeca ProFind, the engineer not only pinpoints the information she wants, but has the opportunity to discover related information. www.endeca.com

When combined with the Web content management capabilities of Content Management Server 2002 and the document management capabilities of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server, the integration creates a Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solution. www.mediabin.com
Vignette Corp. announced the availability of a new Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content that enables organizations to more easily integrate unstructured content into portals and Web applications developed with Vignette V6. Rather than treating unstructured content as monolithic static files content aggregation agents created using the V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content are able to look inside the content, discern unique patterns in the information and aggregate only what is relevant, such as specific news information intended for an employee intranet. Because of its pattern-recognition-based approach to content integration, the V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content is able to adapt to changes in the format or location of content. The Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content enables organizations to not only extract content from enterprise content sources, such as SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel and popular desktop applications, but also makes it possible to input data from a variety of sources into these applications. The Vignette V6 Adapter for Unstructured Content is available and included with the purchase of the Vignette V6 Content Suite. www.vignette.com
