SAN JOSE, Calif. -- X1 Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of user-centric enterprise search solutions, today announced the immediate availability of X1 Enterprise Search Suite v6, a suite of products designed to seamlessly integrate critical business systems by providing secure, unified access to personal and IT managed content throughout the enterprise.

The X1 Enterprise Search Suite v6 consists of the award-winning X1 Professional Client v6, X1 Enterprise Server v3, and a suite of 16 packaged Content Connectors, providing unified access to popular enterprise repositories and applications. The Suite also includes new Content Connectors that provide search federation with 3rd party search engines from vendors such as Autonomy, FAST Search & Transfer, IBM, and Oracle.

"Organizations are being crippled with too many data solutions, too many interfaces, and too much information. The X1 Enterprise Search Suite solves this critical problem by providing a vendor agnostic, single interface through which users can access any and all information throughout the enterprise, regardless of where it is located. We have done so by providing a full range of pre-built, packaged search solutions that grows as business needs change," said John Waller, President of X1 Technologies. "We are pleased to announce a product suite that is simple to deploy and use yet powerful enough to satisfy both end users and the concerns and requirements of the largest enterprises."

"X1 provides a single, easy-to-use entry point to all information," said Sue Feldman, IDC's VP for search and digital marketplace technologies. "IDC data shows that knowledge workers spend an inordinate amount of time hunting for information -- their files, their emails, the data they need to get work done. Pulling all of these sources into one highly functional interface can turn that wasted time into productive time. That's millions of dollars of productivity gained."

X1 Enterprise Search Solutions can be deployed on the desktop and expanded throughout the enterprise and delivers the scalability, performance, and security required by large organizations. The X1 Enterprise Search Suite includes the following components:

"Our office and clinics have been paperless from day one. X1 allows us to find and take action on critical documents like patient records, emails, and billing information in just 4-5 seconds by typing in a few letters," said Goutham Samudrala, Director of Information Technology for America's Family Doctors. "The ability to search and act on email content has been the greatest benefit with X1."

With the introduction of the X1 Enterprise Search Suite, X1 has also enhanced its email management offerings, including updated and enhanced support for Symantec Enterprise Vault, the market-leading email archiving solution. Symantec Enterprise Vault users can leverage the X1 Enterprise Search Suite to quickly find, preview, and take action on ALL email and attachments, whether they reside in an online or offline Vault, PST archive, Exchange public folder, or within Outlook.

"The X1 enterprise search products provide a combination of speed, precision, and ease of use that makes it the ideal choice for our customers," said Sevag Ajemian, Principal of Globanet Consulting Services, an enabler of many of the largest U.S. implementations of Symantec Enterprise Vault.
