ISYS Search to Provide Enhanced Text Data Extraction Capabilities for New Generation of SAP® Solutions

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ISYS Search Software, the Master of Enterprise Search™, today announced an OEM agreement with SAP AG (NYSE: SAP), through which its class-leading Document Filters technology will be used to enhance the capabilities of SAP’s new generation of enterprise applications.

“This OEM agreement with SAP is one of the largest in the company’s history and underscores our strategy of positioning ISYS as a leader, innovator and global expert in enterprise search with our key partners in the Text Analytic, eDiscovery, Data Loss Prevention Email Archiving and Enterprise Content Management space”

ISYS’s Document Filters technology is the core ‘engine’ that allows organizations to search, find, process, analyze and view (in high definition) large volumes of text-based content – critical in enabling employees to quickly and easily extract value from ‘unstructured’ content (such as emails, presentations and documents). Unstructured information (which according to IDC typically accounts for 80 per cent of the information inside an organization) exists in multiple formats and cannot be handled currently by existing database systems for real-time analysis.

“This OEM agreement with SAP is one of the largest in the company’s history and underscores our strategy of positioning ISYS as a leader, innovator and global expert in enterprise search with our key partners in the Text Analytic, eDiscovery, Data Loss Prevention Email Archiving and Enterprise Content Management space,” said ISYS CEO, Scott Coles. “Today, we are the only true enterprise search partnering specialist. We are unique in that we have developed and own the core IP that drives our technology – the result of continuous investment, innovation and collaboration with our partners and customers over many years. Working with a global giant like SAP affirms our absolute commitment to enterprise search over the long-term.”

Today, this powerful ISYS technology is the key catalyst driving content mining and intelligence gathering across the whole ISYS family of partner and enterprise software applications.

“SAP has built its success on helping companies of all sizes and industries to run better,” said Byron Banks, vice president, Business Analytics SAP. “Our decision to embed ISYS Document Filters technology in SAP solutions reflects the importance we attach to offering best-in-class content filtering and real-time analytics capabilities on all data sources, including unstructured content. By incorporating these capabilities into SAP solutions, customers will be better able to analyze all of their information assets to obtain a complete view of their business, and make more informed decisions.”

SAP joins the long list of global Independent Software Vendors that have all selected the class-leading enterprise search and content filtering technology from ISYS, including MarkLogic, Sybase (an SAP Company), Attensity, Proofpoint, HP, EMC and SAIC TeraText – many of which are active in the rapidly developing text analytics “Big Data” marketplace.
