FAST Selected by FirstGov.gov to Bring Enterprise Search Functionality to Content Management

Oslo, Norway (ots/PRNewswire)

- FAST Enterprise Search Platform Integrated With Enterprise
Content  Management Solution to Streamline Document Search and
Retrieval; FAST Also  Selected as One of Only Three Vendors for New
Blanket Purchase Agreement
Fast Search & Transfer(TM) (FAST(TM)), the leading developer of
enterprise search and real-time alerting technologies, today
announced that the FAST Enterprise Search Platform(TM) (FAST ESP(TM))
was selected to power the search functionality for the content
management system of FirstGov.gov. Operated by the US General
Services Administration (GSA), FirstGov.gov is the US Government's
official Web portal.
FirstGov.gov provides government information and services to
citizens, businesses and other governments. FirstGov.gov is an
integral part of creating a citizen-centric government, keeping in
line with one of the five priorities in President Bush's Management
Agenda. FirstGov.gov, part of USA Services, one of the Presidential
E-Gov initiatives created in 2003, distributed more than 202 million
documents in 2004.
FAST ESP is integrated with FirstGov.gov to provide a seamless
method for storing and making available for searching, documents that
are published on FirstGov.gov. During the document publishing
process, FirstGov.gov follows a specific workflow for creating,
approving and publishing new content. With FAST ESP as the enterprise
search solution for this process, the instant a document is approved
and published it is available for search. FAST was awarded the
FirstGov.gov contract via the GSA schedule.
FAST has also been selected by the GSA as one of only three
vendors to qualify for its new Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)
established for FirstGov to acquire future search technology and
services. The BPA has a total value of US$18 million over ten years.
"FAST has worked with FirstGov.gov for many years, and we are
confident that we will deliver solutions that will exceed all
requirements, and help bring FirstGov.gov to its next level of
service," said Ali I. Riaz, FAST's chief operating officer. "The
ability of FAST ESP to fully integrate with FirstGov.gov's content
management system is critical to the ongoing success of the site.
FirstGov.gov content publishers will rely on FAST technology to
ensure documents are instantly available in the content repository,
and FirstGov.gov users will benefit by being able to find and
retrieve these documents as soon as they are published."
FAST has transformed enterprise search from a powerful, yet
narrowly perceived function, into an enterprise-wide strategic and
tactical capability of pivotal importance. FAST ESP and FAST's
portfolio of solutions and SDAs supply a complete information
retrieval solution ideal for a growing number of key vertical markets
and applications including e-Commerce and Internet Portals; Financial
Services; Government; Life Sciences; Media and Publishing; and
Telecom. For FAST, the search never stops.
