Rocketinfo Inc. (OTCBB:RKTI), a leading provider of real-time business news search and content solutions, today announced a partnership with Viapoint Corporation that will see Rocketinfo provide a current news and business information adaptor for the Viapoint Smart Organizer.
The Rocketinfo adaptor will enable users of the Viapoint Smart Organizer to find and organize news headlines relevant to their work directly on their desktops. The Viapoint Smart Organizer provides an intuitive Windows desktop interface for organizing, searching, and navigating the information people use every day including contacts, Microsoft Outlook e-mail, Google Desktop Search results, and files. With the Rocketinfo adaptor, Smart Organizer users will be able to organize and search for relevant, up-to-the-minute news from the 16,000-source Rocketinfo database.
"Viapoint has developed a brilliant product that allows people to both find and organize the information that matters to them," said Rocketinfo Director of Business Development Darren DeJean. "The importance and time-sensitivity of news makes it a natural addition to the Smart Organizer, and we are delighted to have been selected by Viapoint to provide this critical addition to their product."
Rocketinfo will support the free version of the Viapoint Smart Organizer by providing basic news search functionality and results that include embedded, contextual advertising. Those seeking to harness the full power of Rocketinfo will be able to subscribe to an upgraded version of the Rocketinfo adaptor that will include advanced search features and functionality, along with the ability to save searches for ongoing monitoring, create alerts, and share relevant items with colleagues.
Speaking about the partnership, Viapoint Vice President of Marketing Dan Housman said: "With the Rocketinfo adaptor, the growing community of Smart Organizer users gain access to the huge Rocketinfo current news database. We looked at a number of potential news providers and none offered the depth and breadth of content provided by Rocketinfo, nor the ease of integration. We see this as a winner for both companies, but more importantly for Viapoint's customers."
