BA Insight Expands SharePoint and FAST Search Offerings into Government Sector
White Plains, NY – April 27, 2010 - BA Insight, the global leader in Microsoft based Information Access technology, announced today that the company has appointed Jim Justice Director of Federal Sales. In his new role, Justice will spearhead BA Insight’s push into the Federal government, leveraging his deep knowledge of the unique needs of the intelligence community, defense agencies, and other key public sector organizations. Justice brings BA Insight 20 years of Army intelligence experience, 12 years in government IT business development, and extensive experience working with Microsoft’s Federal division.
Justice’s recent addition is in response to a substantial increase in demand for BA Insight’s Longitude search engine optimization technologies for Microsoft SharePoint Search and FAST Search for SharePoint from the Government sector over the past several months. His team is Northern Virginia and Washington DC based, and will focus on serving the Enterprise Search needs of the federal civilian, Department of Defense, and federal intelligence communities.
“The addition of Jim to the BA Insight team further establishes our growing drive into new sectors of the SharePoint marketplace,” explained Arthur Patterson, BA Insight VP of Sales. “Our objective is to provide government agencies and government focused integrators with the full power of Enterprise Search through the connection of enterprise systems and the optimization of Microsoft’s SharePoint and FAST Search platforms.”
BA Insight’s flagship product Longitude optimizes Microsoft’s SharePoint Search, and FAST Search for SharePoint search platforms. Users can find, analyze, and act on relevant information regardless of the format or where the data resides. Longitude offers out-of-the-box connectors to more than 30 business systems including ERP (SAP, Oracle, etc.), CRM (Siebel, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce.com, etc), Messaging (IBM Lotus Notes, Microsoft Exchange Private Mailboxes, Symantec Enterprise Vault), ECM (EMC Documentum, Autonomy Worksite, IBM FileNet, OpenText Hummingbird, etc.). Longitude also provides a state of the art user experience via a rich Silverlight document viewer. Organizations deploying Longitude experience full integration of enterprise data within days, instead of the months that are typically devoted to enterprise information access initiatives.
BA Insight continues to transform enterprise search from a critical, but attenuated function, into a strategic and deliberate competence of central importance. The addition of Jim Justice and a Federal Accounts Sales Practice deepens their reach and the ability to support customers in the government sector. |
