Verity releases K2 Enterprise 6.0

Verity has unveiled the latest edition of its specialized search application development platform, Verity K2 Enterprise (K2E). The company says Version 6.0 can now be deployed, administered and maintained at measurably lower costs with the product's new user interface building blocks, new business console and a redesigned K2 dashboard.

The company explains that the building blocks deliver out-of-the-box widgets for basic and advanced search, as well as attribute and category browsing that reduce the amount of application development required. Further, Verity adds, through the new business console, IT administrators can configure the user interface building blocks without additional programming to faster and better meet a business' search requirements. The redesigned K2 dashboard is said to streamline administration by providing IT administrators with a single system view of their entire K2 deployment, including multiple servers.

In addition, with the new building blocks, IT administrators can deploy faceted navigation user interfaces that provide an intuitive and relevant search experience that combines taxonomy browsing, attribute browsing and text search.
