eWeek reveals IBM is developing a new version of its WebSphere Information Integrator. The release, code-named Serrano and already in a restricted beta, is due for a public beta later this release and a general release in the fourth quarter.
eWEEK: "By opening its corporate search technology to partners, IBM wants to turn enterprise search into more than a way to find documents, e-mails or data by keyword. It also wants search engines to extract meaning from unstructured data, said Nelson Mattos, IBM's vice president of information integration.
...While IBM's search aspirations are growing, the company does not plan to compete against the likes of Google or Microsoft in the Web search arena, Mattos said.
"Our whole focus is addressing the problems of enterprises to find relevant information across what they have, as well as information that is available publicly," Mattos said."
