U.S. Government Agency To Implement SAIC Hummingbird EIP

Hummingbird Communications Ltd. announced that Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has purchased the Hummingbird EIP (Enterprise Information Portal) for implementation at a large U.S. government agency.

As a diversified high-technology research and engineering company based in San Diego, Calif., the SAIC attempts to offer a broad range of expertise in technology development and analysis, computer system development and integration, technical support services, and computer hardware and software products. Hummingbird's Enterprise Information Portal will provide SAIC with a single point of access to a vast number of information repositories, connecting users to the content they need in the context they need it in.

"Features such as the Hummingbird EIP's e-Clip architecture, unified search, and application integration were key to the product selection," said Tracy R. Bair, vice president, SAIC.

As an authorized reseller of the Hummingbird EIP, SAIC also intends to use the product to build vertical solutions for their own customer base. It is currently in the process of developing solutions for customers in the financial services sector.

"We're very pleased with the tremendous response we've had to our new EIP solution," said Barry Litwin, president, Hummingbird. "The Delphi Corporate Portals Conference alone generated over 500 prospective customers, and we're currently responding to several RFPs from Fortune 500 companies."
