Two companies in the enterprise search sector have launched a collaboration; oobe from Australia and Austrian company Mindbreeze will jointly offer high-end enterprise search appliances in Australia and New Zealand.

Google Search is moving solely to the cloud at the end of 2018 and you will no longer be able to buy a new hardware based Google Search Appliance from the end of 2016. As a provider of enterprise search in regulated markets such as the security sensitive areas of Federal Government, oobe identified the need to continue beyond this date with a secure and functional search appliance. oobe undertook significant market analysis of both software and appliance based alternatives to the Google Search Appliance, selecting Mindbreeze InSpire appliance.

"We wanted to make sure we had all the bases covered as a Cloud solution isn’t the single answer for our customers. We wanted to offer a secure appliance with the simplest migration possible, yet with high-end features, and those factors were the focus of our evaluation.

“We found that replacement with Mindbreeze - Mindbreeze InSpire is an innovative enterprise search appliance and we are very pleased about the partnership with them," says Andrew Fahy, Director of Business Development at oobe.

Mindbreeze will offer 24/7 support.

"The partnership in Australia and New Zealand represents a strategically important step in our rapid global growth strategy. Our appliances enable our customers to find relevant information in context and to quickly make sense of the correlations. oobe shares our guiding principles - we want to provide our customers with a professional solution as quickly as possible," says Daniel Fallmann, founder and CEO of Mindbreeze.
