Report Excerpt

The Search & Information Access Report looks at... IBM: OmniFind Enterprise Edition

"Characteristically, IBM finds itself awash in good technology, but challenged by more prosaic matters involving product-line integration. Yet, there is progress to report. "

(p. 116)

IBM's new, new search offering

07-Jul-2006 --

IBM has announced "entry-level" search software under the snappy name of "IBM WebSphere Information Integrator OmniFind Starter Edition." Of course, IBM also resells the Google Appliance. And IBM resells the "free" X1 Desktop Search system. IBM bakes search into DB2. Plus IBM includes basic search in WebSphere and Lotus Notes. Some customers have told me that IBM offers OmniFind as part of a bundle for big hardware and service commitments. A buyer of WebFountain gets basic search tossed in free. IBM has also talked about including the iPhrase search system with certain data warehouse deals. All I can say is, IBM is not making it easy for me to figure out what these new products do. And If I don't know, how will an IBM customer know?
