BA-Insight’s Enterprise-Class Connector technology now fully supports the FAST platform, extending all of BA-Insight’s Connectors for use with FAST

White Plains, NY, December 1, 2009 — BA-Insight, the global leader in Microsoft-based information access technology, today unveiled the extension of their Connector suite for SharePoint Search to the FAST platform. This latest addition to BA-Insight’s suite of Connectors provides users of FAST ESP with many more options for searching Enterprise systems.

For Enterprises with greater functionality and scaling requirements than what Microsoft SharePoint Search can provide, Microsoft FAST ESP provides the platform to suit their needs. Information Workers are finding it increasingly important to have instant access to information contained within all enterprise systems from a common interface. BA-Insight’s Connectors for FAST provide instant access to this information via a search interface while fully honoring the native security in the connected system.

Two common misconceptions about Enterprise Search are that an organization may have to sacrifice security for access to information, or sacrifice scalability and response time for security. BA-Insight’s Connector framework provides unmatched security mapping capabilities, which support both Microsoft Active Directory and Native mapped security. BA-Insight provides two tiers of security checking — at index time, and real time re-checking. This unique combination of layering security ensures that each system’s security is honored without having to sacrifice scalability.

“The release of our latest connector product fills an immediate gap in the marketplace for Enterprise Connectors for FAST,” explained Guy Mounier, BA-Insight’s CEO. “Our Connectors will help ensure the success of FAST deployments by enabling search across all data.”

BA-Insight’s FAST connectors are immediately available.
