ELETRONUCLEAR Selects Verity K2 Enterprise Solution for its Search Relevance,
and Categorization and Scalability Capabilities
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Verity Inc.
(Nasdaq: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise search software that enables
organizations to discover, analyze and process all the digital information
within their enterprises, today announced that Eletrobras Termonuclear S.A., a
nuclear power utility whose majority owner is the Brazilian government, has
implemented Verity(R) K2 Enterprise (K2E) software to provide search and
classification on its main intranet Web site that connects to different data
sources, including its operating reports.
The utility, known as ELETRONUCLEAR, sought an enterprise search solution
that would help to improve its employees' productivity, while extending its
world-class safety standards to the company's intranet Web site.
Nuclear utilities often draw on their own operating experience as well as
the experience of similar companies around the globe. ELETRONUCLEAR combines
its own operating experience with the collective experience of the industry
through the World Association of Nuclear Operators in its knowledge
repositories to allow its personnel to draw on a vast amount of intellectual
capital with speed and accuracy.
"Brazil's ELETRONUCLEAR relies on just-in-time information management,
providing our employees with the most up-to-date information 24x7. Efficient
and fast delivery of relevant information is the key benefit of the Verity
technology," said Luiz Celso Oliveira, ELETRONUCLEAR's external operating
experience coordinator. "The utility's operating reports are expected to be
made readily available, and used by a broad spectrum of our personnel to
support safe and reliable performance of the nuclear power utility. Acquiring
and using relevant operating experience is a job expectation for many
positions across the utility. Verity K2E is an effective and easy-to-use
enterprise search solution. We expect that it will be widely used by our
personnel to enhance their productivity and job performance."
ELETRONUCLEAR evaluated other search solution options. However the
advanced search and classification capabilities of the Verity software were
seen as clearly superior to the others considered. Further, the scalability of
the K2E software to handle content growth made it the solution that best fits
ELETRONUCLEAR's business needs and requirements.
"ELETRONUCLEAR is a standard bearer in operating excellence for nuclear
power utilities," said Anthony J. Bettencourt, Verity's chief executive
officer. "It sought to improve the quality of search on the company's internal
Web presence to properly reflect its operating reputation. We feel honored
that an organization that demands excellence of itself saw excellence in
Verity K2 Enterprise software."
