ISYS® Search Software Unveils ISYS File Readers Solution for OEMs

New Embedded Document Filter Application Complements Lucene Deployments, Offers Information Management Solution Providers an Alternative to Competing Products

DENVER, March 25, 2009 – ISYS® Search Software (http://www.isys-search.com), a global supplier of information access and discovery solutions for mining intelligence and corporate knowledge, today announced the release of ISYS File Readers, an embeddable set of document filters for extracting text and metadata from more than 200 ISYS-supported document, container and email formats.

Backed by 20 years of innovation and adopted by more than 14,000 customer organizations worldwide, ISYS File Readers deliver a critical component to a variety of information management applications, including data mining, forensic analysis, ediscovery and search deployments powered by open-source search engines such as Apache Lucene.

ISYS File Readers offer OEMs, ISVs and information management specialists capabilities comparable to the functionality found in Oracle’s Outside In and Autonomy’s KeyView products.  With support for more than 60 languages, ISYS File Readers ship with full samples and are callable from a variety of programming languages, including C++, C#, Java and VB.NET.  Most importantly, customers can be up and running with a fully functioning proof of concept in just 20 lines of code.

“Until now, the market for document filters was limited to a handful of open-source readers and just two commercial options,” said Scott Coles, CEO, ISYS Search Software.  “Our ISYS File Readers application changes the game completely, providing customers with a powerful, proven alternative that can be deployed in a matter of days.  And given the rapid rise in the commercial adoption of Lucene, we see tremendous opportunity for ISYS File Readers as a key component to these open-source search deployments.”

Complementing ISYS’s current embedded search, access and discovery offerings, the ISYS File Readers application is available for immediate evaluation and purchase.  Additional information on ISYS File Readers is available at: http://www.isys-search.com/technology/filereaders/index.html
