Maximize the Return On Your SharePoint / FAST Search Initiative
The SharePoint / FAST search platforms provide organizations with scalable and extensible search infrastructure. Like all technology infrastructure, the platform must be tailored and customized to the organizations unique information access requirements. BA-Insight's Longitude is technology designed to optimize SharePoint Search and FAST without the burden of a typical lengthy, costly, and risky system integration initiative.

Automatically Connect Enterprise Systems
BA-Insight's Longitude integrate SharePoint / FAST with backend systems without the pain of a typical integration effort. This is made possible by Longitude's connector framework, a platform for integrating FAST and SharePoint to ERP, CRM. ECM, and custom applications. The challenge of integration is shielding the target system from performance degradation as its being indexed, and honoring the security of the system, which is typically not Active Directory based. Longitude's connectors accomplish both.

Cut Search Time In Half
BA-Insight provides users with a state of the art search interface that enables users to search through information 10X faster than they can with out of the box FAST or SharePoint Search. This dramatic improvement cuts into the 3.5 hours of waste that IDC cited in recent studies.

Automatically Tune Relevance
Both SharePoint and FAST have sophisticated ranking algorithms that can be tuned and optimized to an organizations unique requirements. Typically this is a manual process which is done in a trial and error methodology. BA-Insight's patent pending AptivRank technology automates this process by monitoring user behavior. User feedback is the basis of Google's break-through ranking algorithm on the Internet.

Advanced Metadata Management
BA-Insight provides tools that extract the important entities defined in ones ERP, CRM, and custom applications so that these can be used to tag content consistenly throughout the organization. Since the entities will automatically update themselves there is no maintenance associated with maintaining them.
