iXmatch to Provide Search Capabilities for Microsoft Content Management Server 2002

iXmatch’s advanced search software connects Content Management Server 2002 users to content

Minneapolis, Minnesota - Monday, October 7, 2002 - iXmatch Inc., a leading provider of matching, searching, and analytics software, announced today that its advanced search software, iXfind, has been integrated with Microsoft Corp.’s new version of one of its .NET Enterprise Servers, Microsoft Content Management Server 2002, to provide customers an option for advanced search functionality. Tightly integrated with Content Management Server 2002, iXfind will quickly enable site users to find exactly what they are looking for.

Content Management Server 2002 is an ideal solution for reliable enterprise publishing with its support for XML and other standards and its ability to enable users to quickly deploy Web sites, intranets and extranets. iXmatch has integrated its product, iXfind, with Content Management Server 2002 to provide cutting-edge navigation and search functionality to Content Management Server customers. iXfind allows people to search structured and unstructured data across all areas of a Web site or network, including documents, catalog content, product details, and support information. “Content Management Server 2002 allows companies to easily publish incredible amounts of content,” said Prakash Puram, iXmatch’s President and CEO. “But having a vast storehouse of rapidly changing information is wasted if people can’t find things quickly. iXfind easily guides users to the best results, which leads to increased customer satisfaction, retention, conversion rates, and revenue.”

iXfind provides advanced search functionality, including dynamic clustering, best bet content recommendations, document profiles, and auto-categorization. “iXfind provides enterprise-class search and indexing capabilities that enable users to minimize the time and effort they spend looking for content,” said Eric Swift, group product manager for .NET Enterprise Servers at Microsoft. “By tightly integrating iXfind with Content Management Server 2002, together we can provide the performance and functionality that our customers value most. With the combination of Content Management Server 2002 and iXfind, customers can get their mission-critical intranet, Internet and extranet Web sites deployed quickly and users can easily retrieve accurate information from those sites.”

iXfind’s server controls allow customers to quickly deploy it with Content Management Server 2002. The software crawls, indexes, and classifies the content to make it searchable, with no further maintenance. The goal is to provide Content Management Server 2002 customers with advanced search functionality out of the box. “Microsoft, along with its customers, understands that providing best-in-class search functionality is critical to the success of any content management system,” said Dr. Sam Han, iXmatch’s Senior Scientist. “We are continually adding new features and functionality to our software, staying focused on what will best help people find exactly what they are looking for.”
