Composite Discovery and Structured Search

Next up at IAP: Composite Software, introducing a combination of a search capability and the use of a relatively sophisticated approach to profiling across federated data in order to present a portal for searching though collections of data and prioritizing views that can be materialized in real time. Noted expert Clive Finkelstein commented on the similarity with what used to be the Axio product from Evoke (now part of Informatica), but the interesting part is their use of the relationship discovery purely for searching.

Also: the product is an "appliance," meaning that it is packaged software on top of hardware. No details of the hardware were presented, but it probably uses a number of multi-core CPUs with a lot of memory (how else could they do the analysis?).

Seems like an extremely interesting product, especially in the context of supporting e-discovery.
