ISYS Beats High-Profile Competitors in Bid to Provide Thales Navigation With Advanced Search Functionality for Its Three Websites and Corporate Intranet

DENVER - May 17, 2004 - ISYS Search Software, a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced it has been chosen by Thales Navigation to enable advanced search capabilities across three of the company's websites, as well as its corporate intranet.

As one of the world's leaders in satellite positioning and navigation solutions, Thales Navigation is the company behind the popular Magellan® brand of GPS products, as well as the Thales Navigation line of OEM, survey and GIS professional-grade solutions. The company selected ISYS:web.asp to enable search functionality on its corporate intranet, as well as on www.magellangps.com, products.thalesnavigation.com and www.thalesnavigation.com.

Thales Navigation has already gone live with ISYS on its Magellan website and expects to be up and running with search functionality on its intranet and corporate and product-focused websites shortly. Thales Navigation's employees and visitors to its public sites will use ISYS to quickly and easily search and retrieve content contained in a variety of formats, including PDF, Microsoft Word and SQL Server. The company selected ISYS after carefully evaluating competing solutions from several high-profile search vendors.

"After carefully reviewing technology from various search vendors, we chose ISYS for its ability to deliver a solution that was easy to deploy and maintain yet was also flexible enough to meet our specific functionality requirements," said David Lea, Web Technical Application Engineer, Thales Navigation. "ISYS' capabilities with PDF files and SQL Server databases also played a key role in our decision, as did the company's practical pricing model."
