Guardian Unlimited Signs Up its Websites for High-Powered Information Retrieval
Verity provides best search option for Guardian newspapers network
SUNNYVALE, CA - 2000-03-01 - Guardian Unlimited (www.guardianunlimited.co.uk), a unique network of websites including the flagship News Unlimited site, has announced a major investment in Verity knowledge retrieval technology for the entire network and the internal knowledge base.
Verity Information Server was selected because Guardian Unlimited believed it to be the strongest information retrieval technology available today, offering significant competitive advantages in terms of speed and effectiveness. Guardian Unlimited customers will be able to use the sophisticated Verity search facility across all the sites, which cover news, film, football, cricket, jobs, work, shopping, education and books, as well as an archive of Guardian and Observer articles. The Verity technology also will allow Guardian Unlimited journalists and other employees to search internal production information for quick and easy access to relevant information no matter where it is stored on the system.
Guardian Unlimited also plans to implement a personalised information delivery system using Verity Agent Server. When implemented, Agent Server will monitor information sources across the Guardian Unlimited network and automatically filter and deliver highly personalised information to individuals and groups, based on their content and delivery preferences. The new software will be integrated with existing in-house personalisation systems.
"We selected Verity technology as the level of user demand, both internal and external, meant that we needed a reliable and robust product that could deal with an increasingly large number of searches," commented Simon Waldman, head of Guardian Unlimited. "We are also determined to make searching easier for both our internal and external users by providing a more personalised service. When we implement Verity Agent Server, we will be able to ensure that users receive information that they are interested in as soon as it is available."
Simon Atkinson, UK managing director, Verity Inc., said: "In today's increasingly competitive online marketplace, access to and accuracy of information is assuming a critical role to businesses. We are delighted that Guardian Unlimited has recognised Verity's unique ability in this critical area, as demonstrated by the selection of our technology. We look forward to helping Guardian Unlimited achieve greater success."
