Microsoft FAST and SeeUnity Power Search for Court
Member lawyers with the European Court of Human Rights should be able to more easily find information in the future, as the entity has deployed a custom search portal powered by Microsoft FAST. The portal targets legal libraries, stored in an external OpenText eDOCS DM5 system. To facilitate the integration between them, the Court selected SeeUnity's Enterprise Search for FAST. The Court IT head noted the native API integration, which allowed configuration of FAST to access not just eDOCS content, but metadata and security. A case study is available at SeeUnity.
