World Globetrotting – A Visit With Our Partner Swets

This is my first post to the Deep Web Technologies blog.  I am the Vice President of Business Development and I joined Deep Web Technologies last September.  I was lucky enough over the past six weeks to travel to several different countries visiting customers and partners.  My travels took me to the Netherlands, Germany and the Dominican Republic.  I want to focus on my trip the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands our president Abe Lederman and I visited our partner Swets.  Swets resells Explorit for Deep Web Technologies branded as the Swetwise Searcher.   I was impressed with Swets because of the depth of understanding of the needs of the customers they serve and their outlook on the future of content.  I always love working with partners because it’s like drinking from the veritable fire hose - I get a full education about what drives the customers decisions and ultimately addresses their needs.

Swets is a subscription services company.  It is only natural that the customers of a subscription services company would benefit from a federated search solution as it gives the customer access to all the subscription content at the tips of their fingers.  What is interesting is that Swets has developed a complete slate of products to complement the subscription content they sell to customers so that they become the one-stop solution for all of a customer’s content needs including the SwetsWise Online Content, eBooks in SwetsWise and selected products from partners such as PressDisplay and of course Deep Web Technologies’ federated search which is sold as the SwetsWise Searcher.

I look forward to my next trip to Lisse, Netherlands and maybe next time I’ll get a chance to see the tulips in full bloom!
