Fabasoft Mindbreeze
Fabasoft Mindbreeze is a range of software for Enterprise Search, Information Access and Digital Cognition. The flagship product of the range is Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise (formerly Mindbreeze Enterprise Search). The products are developed by Mindbreeze Software GmbH, a subsidiary of the Fabasoft Group headquartered in Linz, Upper Austria.
Development
The name "Mindbreeze" is derived from the terms "mind" and "breeze".
The first two Mindbreeze products, Mindbreeze Desktop Search and Mindbreeze Enterprise Search (today Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise), were launched simultaneously in 2005. The software was developed with the objective of finding relevant information from all corporate applications and external data sources quickly (Enterprise Search).
In 2005 the product was able to search across:
- Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Outlook
- Files and documents in the local file system and central file sharing
- Fabasoft eGov-Suite und Fabasoft eCRM-Suite
- Websites
From the start the products have been available under Linux and Microsoft Windows. In 2006 Mindbreeze started a partner program for developers. With the Software Development Kit it became possible to use Mindbreeze technology in third-party products and to connect a third-party product to Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise. At the beginning of 2006, Version 2.1 featured a Web Client in addition to the Windows Client. This replaced the Windows Client completely in 2008. In the following years the emphasis was placed on usability, maximum scalability and content comprehension and analysis. The connectors developed by Mindbreeze (for connection to data sources) have been developed and expanded continuously since 2005. Additional products like Fabasoft Mindbreeze Appliance and Fabasoft Mindbreeze Mobile were created.
From version "2010 Winter Release" (5.0) onwards, Mindbreeze Enterprise Search has been renamed Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise as part of the Fabasoft umbrella brand strategy.
