Vivisimo Announces Enterprise Customers for its Clustering Engine Cisco Systems and ARC Advisory Group Use Clustering to Organize Search Results PITTSBURGH, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivisimo, Inc., a leading provider of advanced clustering and metasearch software, today announced that Cisco Systems and ARC Advisory Group have deployed Vivisimo's next-generation search solutions to achieve breakthrough improvement in end-user ability to quickly find information and recognize relationships and patterns in search results. Vivisimo Clustering solutions dramatically increase the efficiency of knowledge workers who need to quickly handle large numbers of search results. Unlike solutions that require huge investments in taxonomy-building or categorization, Vivisimo's Clustering Engine organizes search results into folders on the fly, without requiring any pre-processing of source documents, and easily interfaces with any search engine or document database. This value proposition led Cisco Systems, the world's leading provider of networking equipment, to deploy Vivisimo in its Technical Assistance Center (TAC). Cisco licensed the Vivisimo Clustering Engine and Content Integrator to complement its Google Search Appliance that serves thousands of Cisco engineers. The Content Integrator meta-searches collections on the Appliance through a single query. The Clustering Engine then organizes the combined search results into neat folders, greatly improving the discovery of relevant information. ARC Advisory Group, a leading industry analyst firm focused on manufacturing and supply chain segments, will be deploying the Vivisimo Clustering Engine on their public arcweb.com site which uses a Google Search Appliance. "Google is excellent at returning lots of relevant content," said Andy Chatha, President and Founder, ARC Advisory Group. "Vivisimo Clustering Engine organizes that large amount of content into meaningful categories making it significantly easier for users to find the exact documents they are looking for." With over 4000 visitors every day and a variety of information such as market studies, events, news, industry links etc. available on any topic, going through hundreds of results to find the exact item is time-consuming for ARC's visitors. "The fact that Vivisimo works so well on top of Google was a major reason for selecting them," added Chatha. "Given a web server, hooking Vivisimo to the Google Search Appliance takes minutes. The Google Search Appliance delivers search results as XML, which is the input to our Clustering Engine," said Raul Valdes-Perez, President of Vivisimo. "Since no pre-processing of the crawled pages is needed by the clustering, this means that integration is a snap." Google Search Appliance customers are invited to submit their URL for a quick demonstration. Learn more at http://vivisimo.com/google . About Vivisimo, Inc.
