Sorting Unstructured Data IntelliServ. Verity is busily incorporating its search engine technology into an entire line of products called Search'97. One of the newest of these is IntelliServ, a push application for Windows NT Server scheduled for release by the time you read this. IntelliServ monitors multiple data sources to find documents that match search terms entered by individual users. In the first release, it will be able to check Web sites, ODBC-compliant databases, POP3 mail, and stored Verity searches.
Administrators can assign rights to groups and users for various data sources.
Unified Information Client ChannelManager. Like IntelliServ, DataChannel's ChannelManager is designed to replace users' separate information-gathering applications. ChannelManager users will require only a Java-enabled browser. This Web-based interface might be able to access any sort of data, whether from corporate databases, Web servers, or external news feeds. The ChannelManager server, which requires a separate Web server, will notify users of new content via a Java applet client running in the users' Web browsers.
