We Developed it, You Reap the Benefits
Avoid long and costly development expenditures
The proliferation of SharePoint and other document management platforms has created islands of information for which these individual tools have no effective and universal way of gaining access. While many such organizations have access to enterprise search applications, they have found that the ability to accurately 'crawl' and index these varied repositories is limited, as the typical generic search connector software cannot retrieve all of the content and do so in a secure and high performance manner. Therefore, search utilities quickly become stale as more users migrate into a portal environment with a diverse set of data sources.
Discover Technologies' "Advanced Connector Engine"
Extract Relevant Information with our Advanced software
Discover Technologies' Advanced Connector Engine, better known as 'The Engine', provides the ability to extract all relevant information when loaded directly on the server or using remote operations. The architecture imposes no limitations as to where the extraction process must reside.
Using Discover Technologies' intricate knowledge of the SharePoint and other repositories/platforms the providers for these platforms contain the ability to extract and apply content ACLs on a per item basis.
Discover Technologies' Engine, supports a pluggable provider model allowing the ability to create and implement custom providers in any .NET language. This architecture allows developers to focus on the implementation of the content extraction while leveraging the integrated scheduling and job management embedded in the platform.
The Engine provides support for PKI authentication out of the box for both SharePoint and traditional web content extraction.
Features & benefits
delivers the following benefits to organizations:
- Provides a remote operation option (can reside outside your SharePoint Server)
- Quick and easy installation for out of the box search engines including Autonomy and FAST ESP
- Allows multiple nodes to be deployed increasing the content processing rate
- Works well with custom .NET code to enhance the indexed content
Better Flexibility and Performance
The key difference between Discover's Advanced Connector Engine and other technologies
Discover's "Engine", allows SharePoint and similar software applications to be searchable from a variety of search engines including Autonomy and FAST ESP. This provides better reliability, which translates into less time waiting for search results and reduced downtime.
DiscoverTechnogies' Advanced Connector Engine can utilize the native Microsoft SharePoint web services to index content from multiple locations or to the SharePoint object model if placed on a system linked to the SharePoint Farm Additionally, multiple nodes may be deployed to increase the content processing rate allowing better reliability when processing high volumes of content
More reliability and faster search results = increased productivity. It's that simple.
Discover's Advanced Connector Engine is an effective component that delivers immediate, significant results, with a measureable return on investment. It allows Autonomy and SharePoint users to achieve benefits that are considerably greater than the two applications running independently. It couples the strengths of these industry-leading technologies, while adding features and functions that enable organizations to accomplish their information discovery goals, become proactive and expedites the ability to make decisions based on thoroughly analyzed data.
