U.S. Department of Education Chooses ISYS Search Software For Its Office of the General Counsel

Office of the General Counsel to Use ISYS:web to Enable Intranet Search Functionality

DENVER - April 20, 2004 - ISYS Search Software, a global supplier of enterprise search solutions for business and government, today announced that the U.S. Department of Education has selected ISYS:web to enable advanced search capabilities within its Office of the General Counsel.

As a full-service government law office with 85 attorneys and 30 support staff, the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) maintains 15 years of electronic documents. In the past, access to these documents was limited to the attorneys who created them. The OGC's IT professionals looked to eliminate these limitations by providing its staff with advanced technology for quickly and easily searching across its library of legal information. By selecting ISYS:web for its intranet, the OGC has addressed this critical need.

"Like most organizations, we wanted to ensure our staff had the means to access the Office's complete collection of content," said Terry Bashford, information technology specialist, U.S. Department of Education, Office of the General Counsel. "Over time, valued members of our staff will retire, potentially taking with them key knowledge. By implementing ISYS on our intranet, we ensure these years of experience are not lost and that our staff has the ability to retrieve this information in a fast, efficient manner."

The OGC will use ISYS primarily for searching its legal decisions databases. ISYS supports 30 foreign languages and 125 file formats, including PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, emails, attachments, databases and more.
