Google announced an updated hardware and software package that promises faster and more comprehensive results for corporations, governments and universities.
The new box is the first upgrade for Google’s enterprise search appliance since the appliance was launched two years ago. The new system is bigger, with more processing power and memory, allowing a single box to index up to 1.5 million documents and 300 queries per minute, fivefold increases over the earlier model. The boxes cost between $32,000 and $175,000 each, depending on the configuration. Another software improvement is the addition of secure sign-on, which limits queries to only those documents that a particular employee is authorized to see. The new system continuously crawls corporate intranets, updating only new documents and changes in existing documents. www.google.com/appliance
Language Weaver, Inc., a software company developing statistical machine translation software (SMTS), has entered into a beta agreement to develop domain-specific SMTS translation modules for P.H. Brink International. Under terms of the agreement, Language Weaver is initially developing an English-to-French machine translation system trained for key industry vertical domains. The companies have agreed to work closely to integrate the new software into P.H. Brink’s existing automated workflow system, Otto. By learning automatically from existing translated documents, Language Weaver’s SMTS correlates words and word groupings from language to language using statistical algorithms to produce the highest probability output. P.H. Brink expects to use Language Weaver’s SMTS for translation of documents into local languages for technical manuals, product support information, and website content. www.phbrink.com, www.languageweaver.com

Accenture and FileNet Corporation announced new technology that enables insurance field agents and other mobile workers to electronically perform tasks that once required mounds of paperwork. The technology, designed for use with low-cost commercially available digital pens in conjunction with FileNet Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions, allows mobile workers to capture and transmit information to a central repository, where it can be put to work to initiate business processes. The Digital Pen Connector software, written by Accenture Technology Labs, captures the pen strokes, translates them into usable data, and delivers the data to the FileNet ECM system. FileNet ECM then integrates the data in a central content repository for sharing and launches business processes according to the requirements of the business. The solution provides a low-cost alternative to equipping workers with costlier pen-based devices, such as tablet computers or personal digital assistants, and should benefit industries that rely heavily on paper-based processes. www.accenture.com, www.filenet.com
