Stockbyte Opts for Verity K2 Enterprise to Improve Image Search, Customer Satisfaction, Sales
SUNNYVALE, Calif - 2005-08-22 - Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise search software that enables organizations to discover, analyze and process all the digital information within their enterprises, today announced that Stockbyte, one of the world's leading and most innovative on-line stock photography houses, selected Verity K2 Enterprise (K2E) advanced search solution to improve the quality and performance of image research and search activities on its heavily trafficked Web site, www.stockbyte.com.
Stockbyte licenses royalty-free stock photography on the Web to art directors, designers and other creatives needing to use exceptional images in every sort of visual communication. "The key to our success is having the right image and making the process to find it frustration-free," said Jerry Kennelly, Stockbyte's chief executive officer. "The previous search software that we were using did not offer a user-friendly interface for our customers and it did not give us easy to achieve administrative controls and changes."
After an analysis of available options, Stockbyte chose Verity K2E for its ability to address all its immediate needs as well as offer a broad array of administrative and user search functions that would aid the site's performance and sales conversion rates in the future. The Verity software's ability to scale was another appeal as Stockbyte continues to expand its Web-based business.
K2E gives Stockbyte's site managers the ability to rapidly change elements, rankings and choice filters with little effort. Further, the Verity software provides highly relevant search results on images quickly and accurately. The prior search mechanism presented much more of a challenge to alter most aspects of the site search as well as to gain insight into what type of images were being searched and how customers got there. With such understanding achieved by using K2E, Stockbyte is better able to arrange images and make them more readily found, considered and licensed.
"Stockbyte is a remarkable on-line resource for a wide-range of visual artists offering research assistance, an ever-growth selection of images. Now, with Verity K2 Enterprise, Stockbyte is able to make the entire image discovery process better, quicker and more satisfying for visitors to the site as well as those who manage it," said Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity's president and chief executive officer.
