TwigKit Partners with TNR Global to Deliver Search Solutions for FAST and Solr

LONDON, England—November 28, 2011—TwigKit has partnered with TNR Global, a systems design and integration company focused on enterprise search and cloud computing solutions.

“Our companies have a number of qualities in common that allow us to combine forces and service clients with a very complete solution” says Karen Lynn, TNR Global’s Director of Business Development. “TwigKit has a very appealing user interface for users across several platforms, and TNR’s strength is on creating a powerful back end search application. Combined, it’s a powerful solution for companies needing a strong search function with a easy to use interface.”

“TNR’s focus on implementing and servicing enterprise search solutions across a number of platforms is an excellent fit for TwigKit,” says Stefan Olafsson, TwigKit’s co-founder and architect. “Our software enables polished user interfaces for search-based applications, provides a rapid development framework, and works across a number of enterprise search platforms including Microsoft FAST and Apache Solr. We’re excited about working with TNR to produce search solutions that boast both a superb user experience and an outstanding technical implementation.”

TNR’s Michael McIntosh and TwigKit’s Tyler Tate both gave presentations at the Apache Lucene EuroCon event last month in Barcelona. McIntosh talked about Migrating from FAST ESP to Lucene Solr, while Tate discussed Designing Mobile Search. Video and slides from both presentations are available on the Lucid Imagination website.
