The Salvation Army Selects Verity for Intranet Search
Verity K2 Enterprise's Scalability and Security are Key Factors in Choice by International Service Organization
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - 2005-03-07 - Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that enables organizations to maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment, today announced that its Verity® K2 Enterprise (K2E) advanced search software has been selected by The Salvation Army for use on its intranet site.
Founded in 1865, The Salvation Army is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church, helping people in need in 109 countries around the world. With services including disaster relief, food and shelter for the hungry and homeless, substance abuse rehabilitation, child and adult day care, summer camps, education and athletic programs for at-risk youth, job training and referrals, medical care and more, The Salvation Army assisted nearly 33 million people across the U.S. last year. To accomplish its goals, the organization recognized the need to equip its officers and staff with tools that allow them to find mission-critical information effectively and efficiently.
"The Salvation Army faces the same challenge as many global enterprises in having to deal with an ever-growing amount of content in the form of emails, as well as documents and images in multiple file types and formats," said Theresa Dulcich, The Salvation Army's business software manager. "Our organization needed a better way to search across our network of shared files and in several application-specific databases."
The Salvation Army conducted an extensive evaluation of several enterprise search products. Quickly in the evaluation process it became clear that Verity K2E was best able to scale with the increasing size of the army's content repositories, which currently contain more than one million unstructured and structured documents. "The need to manage document access was also a key requirement," Dulcich said. "Verity K2E gives us the degree of control and flexibility that one expects with enterprise-level security capabilities."
While the access control offered by K2E is transparent to users, their experience in finding and retrieving relevant content is also quick and familiar. "Users find a simple search box interface on the welcome page of The Salvation Army intranet," Dulcich said.
Verity's system integrator partner, eTouch, plays an important role in the implementation of Verity K2E, as part of a phased process to enhance The Salvation Army's intranet. The first phase is to use K2E to search emails and other files, delivering results ranked by relevance. The next phase of the deployment will expand the use of K2E to search the organization's content base.
"The work of The Salvation Army requires the most effective tools and techniques, especially in information technology," said Anthony Bettencourt, Verity's president and chief executive officer. "Verity is honored that our K2 Enterprise software has been selected to provide advanced search services on the intranet of this remarkable organization."
