EPSOM, UK - 2000-10-13 - Verity, the company powering business portals, announces that fish4, the consumer internet brand, is upgrading key portal infrastructure technology across its websites using the Verity K2 Toolkit.
The Verity K2 Toolkit will enable fish4 to collect and index up to half a million adverts from across the UK every working day, and to provide fast and accurate search on fish4jobs. fish4 will also implement Verity Profiler for sophisticated off-line data cleansing. The Verity solution will enable fish4 to deal with increasing volumes of users and will enhance resilience and load balancing to provide ultra fast response times for complex queries.
fish4 offers online public access to hundreds of thousands of classified advertisements covering cars, jobs and homes. Originally launched as ADHunter in 1997, fish4 re-branded and launched its four Web sites, fish4cars, fish4jobs, fish4homes and the fish4it online directory - which lists more than 2 million businesses - in 1999. Verity Information Server was originally chosen to provide search, retrieval and navigation facilities. As fish4 has continued to grow in popularity and size, Verity's K2 technology has been chosen as the logical upgrade and is being used in conjunction with an Oracle database.
"As our business grows, the amount of information we need to offer users increases. We need advanced technologies that can handle increasing volumes of content and allow for unlimited growth of users, queries and advertisements," says Sue Falcke, operations director at fish4. "We chose Verity because it offers an extremely powerful knowledge retrieval solution that has the added advantage of being extremely scalable. Verity has proved that it can adapt and grow to reflect our changing business needs."
"As the online market place becomes more crowded, and users more demanding, companies without suitable knowledge retrieval solutions will suffer," says Simon Atkinson, UK managing director of Verity. "The Verity K2 Toolkit's high availability, precision and performance gives fish4 the flexibility and scalability it needs to ensure that its users have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips."
