PASADENA, CA – February 06, 2006 – X1 Technologies today announced the availability of the newest release of the X1 platform, X1 Enterprise Edition 2.5.

“X1 Enterprise Edition is a comprehensive enterprise search platform that we anticipate will be an excellent addition to our knowledge management tools, allowing us to perform federated searches across disparate data sources. We are excited about the unique user experience
and post-search action capability,” said Michael Legman, CIO at Wachtell Lipton.
“A new user work environment is emerging—an ‘enterprise workplace’ that represents the future user experience for information workers. The goal is productivity and better business decisions. To achieve this, the enterprise workplace promises a means to quickly and efficiently execute business processes by navigating seamlessly across applications and information sources,” said Susan Feldman, Research Vice President, Content Management and Retrieval Solutions at IDC. “The user experience is key and X1 exemplifies this by delivering a federated, unified user experience across the enterprise.”
Recognized as the benchmark for enterprise desktop search solutions, X1 Enterprise Edition 2.5 can be managed, deployed and extended across the enterprise while retaining the scalability, performance and security required in business today.

New features in X1 Enterprise Edition 2.5
* X1 Enterprise Client - gives the user a single unified view of all applications and data residing on the desktop and the corporate network. This increases productivity by allowing the end-user to take action on the results within the context of the application that manages it.
* Cluster Manager - provides near-linear scalability to cover large data stores and remote management, configuration, and installation of the X1 Server. Using inexpensive, commodity hardware, IT administration tools can be used to deploy X1 Servers in a cluster for scale, performance and reliability. IT administrators can manage data access and security requirements within the existing infrastructure.
* X1 Content Connector for Interwoven - connects to the Interwoven WorkSite 8.0 data repository and federates the results with local and server-based content. The user can perform common Worksite 8.0 functions such as “open,” “check-in,” and “check-out,” and send documents within the X1 interface.
* X1 SDKs – developers and system integrators can leverage X1’s open architecture to connect to other applications in the organization and automating key workflows.
* X1 Server SDK - Enables users to extend the X1 solution to index new or custom data sources such as proprietary and third-party systems.
* X1 Client SDK – the user interface can be customized and extended to integrate search results directly into existing applications and business processes
