VTLS sets VECTORS on powerful federated searching through partnership with MuseGlobal

June 26, 2004

Blacksburg, VA - VTLS announced today that their VECTORS iPortal product would now include the optional addition of MuseGlobal's powerful federated search software. This new component includes the discovery-to-delivery capabilities that search unlimited kinds of information sources with a single query. The federated search capability allows users to enter a search query and retrieve an integrated set of results from many different sources. In addition, the component offers many other rich functional capabilities. An important factor for VTLS in selecting the MuseGlobal product was the company's support for UnicodeTM, which allows VTLS to continue to deliver global information to the company's global customer base.

"The selection of MuseSearch to provide sophisticated federated searching across disparate resources is another step in VTLS providing our customers with the most powerful technology available today," said Carl Grant, President and COO. "MuseGlobal's' support of important standards like UNICODE also allows our customers to continue their ability to reach and deliver global information resources."

"We are delighted to have VTLS as a partner. VTLS' worldwide reputation, especially for technical excellence, as well as its strengths in Europe and Asia, fit beautifully into our wish to integrate with outstanding products and to continue our global expansion," said Kate Noerr, CEO of MuseGlobal. "MuseGlobal is a strong believer in standards and in integration, and built its technology from the outset to accomplish these goals."
