May 19, 2009 - Exalead and The vdR Group Debut Search Based Application for Manufacturing and Engineering Organizations
Partrieve unifies access to part and product data located in various files and across multiple applications
San Francisco, CA - May 19, 2009 - Exalead, a global provider of search-based business application (SBA) technology, and The vdR Group, a leading developer of integration solutions for manufacturing and engineering applications, today introduced Partrieve, an SBA built on the Exalead CloudView platform. Manufacturing and engineering companies can immediately take advantage of Partrieve to quickly find part and product data located across hundreds of databases. Rapid access enables these companies to improve user productivity, optimize design and information reuse, accelerate time-to-market and reduce cost of ownership.
Partrieve v5.0 helps users find and access part and product data that reside in multiple and disparate repositories, applications, and various content formats within an enterprise. It extends the powerful web paradigm of fast and easy access to information and builds on it by further adding powerful interactive discovery and analysis tools.
"We needed a search platform that would give our customers the confidence that Partrieve could handle large volumes of part data and related content, operate in a global environment and scale easily as needed," said Martin van der Roest, president and CEO of vdR. "With the Exalead CloudView OEM Edition, we got just that. As a result, we were able to focus on our integration technologies, user experience and the overall Partrieve solution."
Partrieve unifies and aggregates part data independent of its source, format, language or units of measure. Data can exist in computer-aided design (CAD), electronic content management (ECM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions and more. Formats can include documents, spreadsheets, media files, and CAD drawings.
ISVs and integrators can use CloudView OEM Edition to differentiate their solutions with high-performing and highly-scalable embedded search capabilities. Built on an open, modular architecture, CloudView uses minimal hardware but provides high scalability, which helps reduce overall TCO. Additionally, CloudView uses advanced semantic technologies to automatically analyze, categorize, enhance and align data to deliver more accurate, precise and relevant search results.
"CloudView OEM offers the fastest way for ISVs, integrators and solutions providers to build search-based business applications that meet the unique needs of their customers," said Ranjeet Vidwans, VP of Business Development for Exalead. "Partrieve is a perfect example of how our partners can use search to innovate and differentiate themselves."
Partrieve is immediately available and is sold via Tata Technologies. For more information, please www. Partrieve.com .
