Convera announced that IBM is offering Convera’s RetrievalWare as the search and retrieval technology for its Network Interactive Content Access (NICA) publishing industry solution.

NICA also provides the workflow management that allows the repurposing of publishing content either from its own repository or from an external enterprise content management repository. Convera also announced that it is creating an extension to the IBM WebSphere Portal that will enable IBM customers to integrate RetrievalWare into their portal deployments.
