BA-Insight has released its next generation search solution for SharePoint, Longitude V4 for Microsoft SharePoint and FAST Search 2010.

Longitude V4 provides a rich Silverlight Viewer which the company claims is superior to Flash/Java in speed of rendition.

It offers out-of-the-box connectors to more than 30 business systems and the company estimates that organisations deploying Longitude experience full integration of enterprise data within days, instead of the months that are typically devoted to enterprise information access initiatives.

Longitude V4 provides linking of structured and unstructured data, text recognition within an image format, where OCR is executed on the fly, indexing of email including attachments and Parametric search

"Dozens of customers are already piloting the new release of our product," said Guy Mounier, BA-Insight CEO, "and the feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive. "Actionable search result is what end-users have been looking for all along."
