Searchdaimon Launches Free "mini-Google" for Companies

Oslo, Norway (PRWEB) November 03, 2011

Searchdaimon is making available a free version of it's corner stone product, Searchdaimon Enterprise Server. The free version is exactly the same as the paid, except it is only licensed for 10 end-users.

Finding relevant information has become one of the most complicated and technologically difficult tasks to be handled by a company. With an ever increasing amount of documents in a wide range of file formats, searching, tracking and comparing data from a wide number of employees has proved difficult.

Enterprise Server is a system that can be linked to all employees in a company. The system enables all the users to access in webpages, intranet, email accounts, files and other systems people may work in, and still maintain existing security policies.

In addition to the build-in data connectors you may write your own connectors to index other data source, or push data over http. You can also create your own search frontends and retrieve search results by xml, json and rss.

"The simplicity of getting started is not comparable to others in the same field. 6 minutes downloading and import into a cloud environment like VMware, Oracle VirtualBox or Xen is all it takes to see the full future enterprise search solution" said Runar Buvik, CTO at Searchdaimon.

"Searchdaimon for us has proved perfect for our needs of finding and cross referencing relevant information fast" says Glenn Lindmark in Convinco.

MicroVenture Marketplace Raises $150,000 for Three Companies

Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

MicroVenture Marketplace Inc., an online investment service connecting startups seeking money with investors, funded its first three deals, raising $ 150,000 from investors in six states.

In our first deal, we raised $ 100,000 for an entertainment technology platform company from 19 investors, said Bill Clark, the founder of MicroVentures. The amount of the investments ranged from $ 2,000 to $ 25,000, and the average invested was about $ 5,000.

Founded in 2010, MicroVentures helps entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses seeking $ 100,000 to $ 500,000 find sophisticated and accredited investors who want to invest as little as $ 1,000 to $ 10,000 per investment, through its online service.

MicroVentures peer-to-peer investment service, which is similar to crowdfunding, allows investors from all over the country to gain access to deals they otherwise wouldnt see and to invest smaller amounts.

"I love the excitement of angel investing but the amount of time and money needed to become a successful investor was too much for my taste, said Peter Renton, who took part in the first deal.

MicroVentures solves both the time and money piece for me, said Renton, who runs the Social Lending Network blog. With low minimum investments as well as their strict due diligence before taking on a company, MicroVentures makes the entire process easier."

Investors in the first three deals came from, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas, Clark said. In the two other deals MicroVentures made introductions that facilitated a $ 25,000 deal for a B2B data/marketing company and a $ 25,000 investment in a venture fund.

About MicroVenture Marketplace

Based in Austin, TX, MicroVenture Marketplace Inc.s capital model allows investors to fund startup opportunities not typically available outside a traditional venture capital structure. Using its online peer-to-peer investment service, MicroVentures creates additional investment opportunities for investors looking to make smaller commitments by pooling and connecting them with entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses looking to raise money.
