| About Us
Vivisimo's mission is to help organizations maximize the business
value of their information through innovations in search and discovery
technology.
Vivisimo's founders first developed new ways to categorize search results as a research project at Carnegie Mellon University's computer science department. After years
of product development and further innovations, Vivisimo today offers
Velocity—a
complete enterprise search platform that unifies access to secure
business repositories, presents search results with an unmatched user
experience, and enables knowledge sharing across an organization. Velocity is making
single-search-box access to wide selections of corporate information a
reality at organizations large and small.
You can install Velocity in minutes, use its web console to configure access to diverse document, email,
database, and web page repositories, and import their access rights so
that searchers get just what they're authorized to see and nothing
more. Use the console to spotlight high-value information, package
repositories into search tabs, enable clustered results by topic or
meta-data, enliven the search results with embedded images, and more,
all without custom programming—just configuration.
Building on its other innovations, Vivisimo was first to offer social
search, which lets enterprise users share their knowledge with
coworkers by tagging, ranking, and annotating search results.
Velocity is sold as an installed or hosted application to enterprises, governments, and OEMs.
Vivisimo provides expert professional services, acknowledging that
enterprise search in complex corporate environments benefits from the
shared experience of similar deployments elsewhere. Due to its modern
service-oriented and XML-based design, Velocity is typically
deployed in days or weeks, not in months or years as with legacy
platforms that were architected years ago.
Vivisimo's public installations are a model of high-quality search.

What's a Vivisimo?
Vivisimo means lively, bright, or clever in Spanish. Vivisimo's
founders picked the name to express their vision of enlivening the
tedious process of cycling through siloed search engines and wading
through masses of unorganized search results.
