BETHESDA,
MD and VICTORIA, BC dtSearch Corp., a
leading supplier of end-user, enterprise and developer
text retrieval software, and NewHeights, an OEM
provider of personal communication management
software for IP-PBX and hosted telephony phone
systems, today announced that NewHeights has licensed
the dtSearch Text Retrieval Engine to enhance
its Desktop Assistant™
3.0 software. NewHeights will embed the dtSearch
Engine functionality into a Knowledge Management
Module for Desktop Assistant. The new Module will
upgrade an installed base of over 10,000 Desktop
Assistant software clients throughout North America,
EMEA and Latin America.
"NewHeights
Desktop Knowledge Management extends the value
of enterprise applications like Microsoft Office®
and Lotus Notes® by
incorporating them into the management of real-time
business communications," says Owen Matthews,
CEO of NewHeights Software. "The dtSearch
Engine ensures that our users will never have
to hunt for information associated with an incoming
caller. Having documents related to a call at
your fingertips greatly enhances professionalism
and improves communication responsiveness –
benefits normally associated with expensive call
center solutions."
According
to Matthews, NewHeights selected the dtSearch
Text Retrieval Engine for its rapid document indexing
and retrieval along with its flexible Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs). "The dtSearch
APIs were easy to use and enabled us to integrate
document and email retrieval into a real-time
communication environment, where a fraction of
a second matters when you are dealing with an
incoming call."
"We are very pleased to be working with NewHeights
on such an innovative application of our Text
Retrieval Engine technology," said David
Thede, president of dtSearch Corp. "The partnership
will substantially improve telephony-integrated
knowledge management."
Mitel
Networks™ is now selling
Desktop Assistant, re-branded Your Assistant,
with its 3300 Integrated Communications Platform
(ICP). The dtSearch-enabled Desktop Knowledge
Management Module will be generally available
through Mitel Networks Your Assistant in Q3, 2004.
