» Enterprise Information Retrieval
LifeCycle Software personnel are experts in search and retrieval techniques across diverse content including RSS feeds and blogs. LifeCycle has built federated search mechanisms and also is aligned with federated vendors in this space. LifeCycle's products satisfy both the information professional (expert searcher) and the researcher, two types of searchers with different needs. The information professional relies on complex Boolean searches yielding consistent results, whereas the researcher starts out with little or no pre-conceived ideas of results, fine tuning the results as they go. Search solutions span the spectrum of organizational size - from appliances for smaller companies to enterprise search solutions for larger ones. No matter the size, the quality and speed of the query's results, especially in those first returned hits, are the most important outcomes.
