GoTo Auctions and Verity Form Strategic Partnership
GoTo Auctions Offers Rapid, Scalable and Precise Access to Auction Goods and Services with Verity® K2 Toolkit
SUNNYVALE, CA. and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC - 2000-10-16 - Verity, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRTY), a leading provider of infrastructure software that powers enterprise and e-commerce portals as well as e-business applications, and GoTo Auctions, a division of GoTo.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOTO), today announced that GoTo Auctions has selected Verity® K2 Toolkit, a high-performance portal infrastructure technology, with advanced search, navigation and view capabilities, to power its integrated auction search. Affiliates of GoTo Auctions are able to add the capabilities to search over 250 auction sites and exchanges, including Amazon, eBay and Yahoo! Auctions.
"With millions of items being added or deleted on any given day, scalability and performance of indexing and searching are critical components," said Scot Wingo, general manager of GoTo Auctions. "Since deploying the Verity® K2 Toolkit, we've seen a dramatic decrease in overall indexing time - from 12 hours down to less than an hour to index from scratch. Another area of improvement is in the raw speed at which results can be viewed. We're thrilled that Verity has helped to improve the user experience on our site."
