filing cabinets to try to find the desired document. Nowadays,
increased competition and a challenging economic climate require that
businesses be able to locate an electronic version of a document or
pinpoint a vital piece of business information in an instant.
Imperatives like these help explain why industry analysts forecast
continued strong demand for enterprise search solutions.
Since Microsoft completed its acquisition of enterprise search
developer FAST Search & Transfer last April, the Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server team has been working closely with colleagues at
FAST to bring together the companies' respective search technologies.
The result combines FAST's deep search expertise with the widely used
platform technology of SharePoint Server.
Today at FASTforward'09 in Las Vegas, Microsoft provided a glimpse
into the fruits of their efforts: FAST Search for SharePoint, a new
search server that will add the high-end search capabilities of FAST
ESP to SharePoint. FAST Search for SharePoint will be available with
the release of the next version of Microsoft Office. The solution will
equip businesses with high-end search capabilities that will enhance
their efficiency and boost productivity.
As a part of the road map disclosure at FASTforward'09, Microsoft also
announced ESP for SharePoint, a special offer available for SharePoint
Enterprise Client Access License customers. With ESP for SharePoint,
these customers can purchase FAST's high-end search capabilities today
with a defined licensing path to FAST Search for SharePoint when it's
released.
