American Society of Mechanical Engineers Deploys Vivisimo Velocity; ASME Goes Live With a New ASME.org Search Engine Powered by Vivisimo's Search and Clustering Technology.PITTSBURGH -- Vivisimo (Vivisimo.com), the creator of innovative software to access and cluster the world's information for better search and discovery, today announced that the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (body) American Society of Mechanical Engineers - (ASME) A group involved in CAD standardisation. (ASME ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers ) has launched a new www.ASME.org search engine with Vivisimo Velocity as its enterprise search platform. With Velocity, ASME is leveraging existing assets to search and combine the company's internal content management system, products catalog catalog, descriptive list, on cards or in a book, of the contents of a library. Assurbanipal's library at Nineveh was cataloged on shelves of slate. The first known subject catalog was compiled by Callimachus at the Alexandrian Library in the 3d cent. B.C. , and other Web content while presenting all results organized into easy-to-navigate folders. Now, thousands of ASME.org users will have access to multiple content sources searchable from a single, user-friendly interface. In the past, ASME.org's integrated search allowed the organization to combine results from multiple ASME Web sites into a combined search resource. However, as ASME Web usage grew, it needed a search solution that could easily integrate with the organization's new content management system, provide faster and more accurate indexing, and full management features and reporting capabilities. "Over the past year, ASME reviewed several search vendors, including Google, Autonomy and Verity ver·i·ty n. pl. ver·i·ties 1. The quality or condition of being true, factual, or real. 2. Something, such as a statement, principle, or belief, that is true, especially an enduring truth: , to compare their capabilities and value," said Virgil Carter Virgil R. Carter (born November 9, 1945 in Provo, Utah) is a former professional American football quarterback who played in the National Football League and the World Football League from 1967 through 1976. , executive director of ASME. "Vivisimo Velocity's full range of features has enabled us to choose a search solution that is more conducive to ASME members and the engineering and technical community." ASME is using all three components of Vivisimo Velocity--search, federated search Federated search is the simultaneous search of multiple online databases and is an emerging feature of automated, Web-based library and information retrieval systems. It is also often referred to as a portal, as opposed to simply a Web-based search engine. and clustering. Combined, Velocity enables ASME to index five times more content with increased accuracy, flexibility and realize a greater return on investment. In addition, Vivisimo Velocity will allow ASME to index its content management systems with minimum reconfiguration, allowing Web site programming to remain streamlined and stable. "With Velocity, information-intensive organizations like ASME can leverage all their information repositories An information repository is an easy to deploy secondary tier of data storage that can comprise multiple, networked data storage technologies running on diverse operating systems, where data that no longer needs to be in primary storage is protected, classified according to captured while combining the results in a way that makes the content easy to explore and user friendly," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. at Vivisimo.

Customers like ASME turn to us because they want an enterprise search solution that makes the most of their content and resources and offers a user experience that parallels the very best consumer search engines."
