Executive Summary

IBM recently announced its Content Discovery Server, a new but full-featured product for searching corporate information repositories and knowledge bases. The product is most differentiated by its secure gateways into content repositories — such as Lotus Notes, DB2 Content Manager, and WebSphere Portal — as well as its powerful natural language processing engine and WYSIWYG tool set for index creation, business rules, and user interface development. But at this time, the Content Discovery Server product is still a set of separate assets — heritage iPhrase OneStep, and IBM OmniFind search — that IBM plans to integrate and rationalize over the coming year, while it continues to foster support for its Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA). Currently, the best fit for Content Discovery Server includes secure, corporate intranet search in which content is buried in disparate systems and data repositories, and in medium- to small-scale consumer-facing commerce and customer self-service scenarios.
