Midas, Inc. Pulls Out All The Stops With ISYS® Search Software

DENVER, Jan. 8, 2007 – ISYS® Search Software (www.isys-search.com), a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced Midas, Inc. has selected ISYS:web to enable search across the Midas Portal, the company’s corporate extranet. ISYS was chosen over competitors for its robust indexing capabilities, its ability to search dynamic content, its user-friendly administration interface and its pricing structure.

Midas is one of the world's largest providers of automotive services with more than 2,600 locations in 19 countries. At any given time, employees, dealers and partners are accessing a wide range of company information, from warranty data, customer feedback and sales reports to promotions and shop policies. The Midas Portal provides a single point of access to this content, and by implementing ISYS:web, Midas empowers these groups with a searchable and comprehensive information source.

Midas utilizes ISYS’ On-The-Fly Categorization feature, which automatically generates categories according to variables such as file path and metadata information. This enables users to easily drill down and pinpoint the right information instantly. For example, if Midas dealers are looking for a brake promotion and search for ‘brakes,’ they will likely get thousands of results. But, by clicking on the ‘Promotions’ category, they can refine their results and locate the relevant information more quickly.

“We needed a search engine that would index a variety of files types, adhere to our security settings and provide a web services interface,” said Dave Sommer, senior project manager, web development, Midas, Inc. “Our previous search engine could not index our dynamic web page content, and the cost of many others was beyond our budget.  ISYS was a perfect fit – offering the capabilities we needed at a reasonable price.”
