WHAT:
A live webcast hosted by Lucid Imagination, the commercial company for Apache Lucene/Solr open source technology, features Sonali Sambhus, Senior Search Architect at Cisco, Thangam Arumugam, Senior Search Architect at Cisco and Stephen Bochinski, Software Engineer at Cisco. The webcast offers an in-depth technical workshop for the information management and enterprise search application development community. Learn how Cisco uses enterprise search technologies to build products that harness the collective expertise of a company's workforce.

In today's information age, employee knowledge is a company's competitive advantage. Critical knowledge and insights, written and spoken words traverse the network at light speed. Cisco Pulse is an innovative search platform that dynamically tags content as it traverses the network, making it quick and easy for employees to discover and connect with the right experts, share valuable information, and navigate rich media. Lucene/Solr search-enabled applications are essential to helping companies locate critical information in timely fashion.

Incorporating cutting edge enterprise search techniques developed at Cisco with the help of Lucid Imagination, Cisco Pulse uses embedded real-time search with Apache Lucene/Solr search technology. Cisco Pulse combines automated content discovery with social search and analytics, indexing a broad range of media in real time -- including email, documents, and even video -- to deliver results directly into key workplace productivity tools. Cisco's new search-driven business intelligence platform allows workers to accurately locate and rapidly connect with the best available experts and information to make organizational expertise a competitive advantage.
