01.07.09

NetSprint, the supplier of search technology, implements its NetSprint USE platform at Opoint AS - a media monitoring company operating in 6 countries. The aim of this implementation is to enable a growth of Opoint article archives and, at the same time, improve effectiveness and improve the handling of complex queries.

The Norwegian company Opoint AS offers media monitoring services in 6 European countries. The services are brought to end clients by the brand of Opoint Monitor. At present the company monitors over 14.000 websites that publish news in 24 languages, including more than 2.300 Polish websites. The Opoint Monitor system indexes 300.000 articles daily. Given the fast growing amount of gathered information, the company has decided to implement the latest version of the NetSprint USE search engine.

The NetSprint solution will enable full contextual search of the database of several hundred million articles in all languages supported by Opoint Monitor. Implementation of the system will also bring additional advantages in the form of advanced search options and search result arrangement. The project is expected to end in the 4th quarter of 2009.

The companies started cooperation at the beginning of 2007. The first phase of the cooperation was a successful implementation of the main product of the Norwegian company in Poland by the brand of NewsPoint. The implementation of the advanced NetSprint USE platform is a natural development of the cooperation between both companies.

"We want to help big European publishers solve search problems. In this context we highly value our cooperation with Opoint. It shows that our technology enables effective search of one of the biggest, multilingual article databases in Europe" – says Artur Banach, the President of NetSprint.pl

It is NetSprint's second contract in Norway in the field of Enterprise Search. Earlier a contract was signed with Edda Media – a leading Norwegian publisher to implement NetSprint Information Access Platform. It is an integrated solution meant for big on-line publishers, e.g. informative portals. NetSprint IAP enables effective search and contextual linking of content, which improves usability and makes it easier for users to reach the right information.
