Squiz web solution now empowered with leading edge search technology
Leading Australian web solutions provider Squiz has integrated world class Funnelback search technology - as a no cost option - into the latest version of their MySource Matrix supported open source Content Management System (CMS). Recently, leading industry analysts have been advising clients to “Choose Web Content Management (WCM) vendors that have robust search technologies or that have gained them through partnerships, acquisitions or the customization of open-source technology.”
Squiz's July 2009 acquisition of Funnelback is now delivering leading edge search technology directly to the global MySource Matrix customer base; helping Squiz's growing portfolio of high end enterprise web site customers to offer more sophisticated and intuitive end user search solutions. John-Paul Syriatowicz, Squiz Managing Director, commented “We are proud to offer leading edge search capability, seamlessly integrated into what is already a feature rich CMS.”
Syriatowicz continued "As organisations continue their inevitable move towards browser-centric information management, powerful, fully-integrated search will play an increasingly important role. I believe 2010 will herald a fundamental shift in the CMS and search marketplace, as clients and vendors realise the two are inseparable. Trying to treat them as discrete solutions simply doesn't work."
For Squiz clients, tighter Funnelback integration with MySource Matrix means improved functionality including contextual navigation, featured pages, type formats and spelling suggestions that enhance content discovery and relevance. Implementation of these features can be totally customised to suit specific customer requirements.
Stephen Morgan, Director Squiz UK commented “Until now, there has been a significant gap in the CMS enterprise search market. Funnelback search technology not only delivers advanced indexing and searching of content housed in a MySource Matrix system – it does so with reduced implementation times and lower costs.”
