"Mondosoft Integration Services'' Extends Search Functionality to Third-Party Applications via AJAX Interfaces

April 25, 2006; 02:07 AM
Mondosoft, a pioneer in Enterprise Search and Behavior Analytics, announced the availability of Mondosoft Integration Services, a new toolkit allowing Mondosoft partners to easily add powerful search and search analytics capabilities and build customized applications fine-tuned to customers' requirements.

Mondosoft Integration Services is a Web Service that provides a new point of entry to Mondosoft's product suite. It enables a licensee to tap into search data and analytics functionality without being limited by a pre-defined user interface, as it decouples the search engine from its out-of-the-box presentation. For developers, Mondosoft Integration Services liberates data and allows search functionality to be integrated into knowledge management applications in new, creative ways.

Stephen E. Arnold, author of The Enterprise Search Report, commented: "Most search engine vendors talk about Web Services but Mondosoft has taken the notion a step further. Mondosoft is one of the first--if not the first--search systems to extend search-centric Web services inward towards Intranet users, outwards to Internet users of a public Web page, and across boundaries for password protected Extranets with customized views for each user or user group."

Thanks to its simplified programming interface, Mondosoft Integration Services lowers the barrier to integration and enables Mondosoft technology partners and system integrators to tightly integrate MondoSearch, InformationManager and BehaviorTracking with CMS solutions like Sitecore and EPiServer and other applications such as Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server. The new development toolset controls crawling and indexing from within third-party applications.

The Mondosoft approach permits seamless access to Microsoft XP, Advanced Server, and Vista functions and enables a partner or licensee to extend the reach of the search system and its analytics components into AJAX interfaces. The Mondosoft implementation extends the functionality to other operating systems and content management systems, including those running on UNIX and Linux.

"Mondosoft Integration Services is a strategic technology advancement that unlocks access to search and behavior analytics information. It corresponds to our partners' demand for a unifying tool that closely integrates content sources to quickly and efficiently build vertical applications across multiple data sources, programming languages, and software applications and add value," said Jens Bengaard, Mondosoft CTO.

Mondosoft Integration Services is available to Mondosoft technology and system integration partners on a developer license basis. For more information, log on to partner/mondosoft.com.
