State of Washington Chooses ISYS:web to Power Government's Web-Based Permit Assistance Center

DENVER - July 22, 2003 - ISYS Search Software Inc., a global supplier of search software for business and government, today announced that the State of Washington has selected ISYS:web as the search engine for its Regulatory Assistance Web site.

The State will implement ISYS for its Office of Regulatory Assistance, using ISYS:web's spidering capabilities to gather various permit and regulatory information from a number of state, local and federal agencies' sites. This information will range from building permits to EPA data. The State's use of ISYS is designed to provide its customers with a single resource for obtaining permit and regulatory information.

"The State of Washington required a comprehensive search solution that provided users with an easier and more efficient means for researching information," said Claire Hesselholt, director for the Office of Regulatory Assistance. "We selected ISYS to meet this need. Rather than conducting each search separately using only pre-defined keywords, our users can save time with ISYS by constructing a single query that searches across multiple databases simultaneously."

The State of Washington expects to go live with ISYS:web in the coming months giving visitors access to relevant permit and regulatory information. ISYS:web is a sixth-generation information retrieval solution that offers users an Internet-native interface for indexing and searching across 30 different languages and 125 file formats, including HTML, PDF, Flash, XML, WordPerfect, databases and more.
