eZ systems
eZ Systems, publisher of the Open Source "eZ Publish" solution, has combined its expertise with that of Antidot to provide a unified content management and publication product based on industrial components.
With a policy of constantly improving the solutions built around eZ Publish and reinforcing its positioning as a professional, flexible, robust content management solution that responds to the specific needs of its customers, eZ Systems selected the Antidot Finder Suite (AFS) search engine as a component of an overall content management and search solution for enterprises. Antidot was selected for its open software architecture and its expertise in search tools designed for enterprise environments.
This strategic partnership allows eZ Systems to develop its competitive advantage and to offer the first content management solution that combines advanced publication functionalities and an industrial search engine in this way.
Roland Benedetti, Director of eZ Systems for France & Southern Europe, states, "The integration of the Antidot search engine allows us to offer eZ Publish users a search solution with high added value due to its relevance and its rich functionality. Unmatched in the marketplace, the advanced functionalities of Antidot for analytics, relevance or contextual navigation of searches are also major reasons for our choice. The utilization of AFS largely surpasses the simple content research functionality present in eZ Publish, which we had already achieved, although with less relevance. AFS opens other horizons for us and allows the use of eZ Publish to search and access all of an enterprise's data sources, whether on the Internet, intranet or information system!"
In addition to the excellent technological fit that motivated this partnership, the collaboration between one of the most visible Open Source software publishers and a "traditional" publisher can also be explained in terms of shared values, around the concepts of customer satisfaction, close customer relationships and high service quality.
