Intellext(TM) ( http://www.intellext.com ), creators of next-generation search tool Watson, today announced a product enhancement that will provide all users of Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies with the ability to have content automatically delivered from SharePoint sites directly to their desktop.


"SharePoint Products and Technologies provide enterprises with a better way to collaborate and truly put enterprise information to work," said Seth Patton, Group Product Manager, SharePoint Products and Technologies at Microsoft. "Watson adds the next step, proactively delivering enterprise content directly to the user, and seamlessly integrating SharePoint-based content into the Microsoft Office user experience."


Watson is an intelligent search tool that proactively finds and delivers relevant information to users. It works alongside Microsoft Office and web applications, understands the context of the documents a user is working on, and automatically finds relevant information from the desktop, the web and across the enterprise. Content is delivered to the user's desktop in a non-intrusive sidebar.


"SharePoint's rich structured and unstructured query language provides unparalleled precision and flexibility," said Jay Budzik, CTO of Intellext. "By leveraging metadata and taxonomies, SharePoint queries dispatched from Watson deliver better results than you can get from any other enterprise search solution."


Chicago-based Intellext introduced integration with Microsoft SharePoint as a way to offer an out-of-the-box solution to the enterprise content delivery challenge. Current solutions require users to interrupt what they are doing to go search for content. With Watson, enterprise content finds the user instead. With Watson connected to SharePoint sites, content becomes proactive, more relevant to the task at hand, and is used more often. In addition, Watson ensures that existing access permissions are upheld, so that users can access only the content they are authorized to view.


Watson Professional now includes, at no additional charge, the ability to connect to Microsoft SharePoint sites.
